We want to improve how we treat from .
Doctors usually treat this with two antibiotics together:
- Aminoglycosides, such as tobramycin, are a type of antibiotic that may cause kidney injury, hearing loss, or balance issues.
- Beta-lactams, such as ceftazidime, are a different type of antibiotic that do not cause these specific problems.
Now the cystic fibrosis community wants to know:
- Can beta-lactams alone treat the exacerbation without the added risks of aminoglycosides?
We are doing this research study to answer that question.
