Introduction:

is an emerging pathogen. Whilst association with cystic fibrosis (CF) has been described previously, this is the first report to our knowledge of multidrug‐resistant incidence in an Irish CF patient population.

Case presentation:

Using a case series of four adult CF patients with varying baselines of health, one of whom was asymptomatic, this report attempts correlation of colonization, by one common strain, with incidence of acute exacerbation of symptoms. As definitive guidelines for antimicrobial sensitivity/resistance do not exist for , we completed a systematic review of available literature to collate evidence of antimicrobial efficacy against Comparison with the isolates in this study indicated sensitivity to piperacillin/tazobactam and minocycline but resistance to antimicrobials in the macrolide, other β‐lactam and fluoroquinolone groups.

Conclusion:

To our knowledge, this is the first report of multiple CF patients sharing a strain of . Furthermore, may be under‐identified in CF patients and should be considered when evaluating exacerbation of CF symptoms.
