title: Colonisation of lung allografts with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in heart-lung transplant recipients with cystic fibrosis.
abstract: Six patients (four with cystic fibrosis, two with bronchiectasis) harboured Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the lung before heart-lung transplantation. Three of the patients with cystic fibrosis were colonised by strains of different genotype postoperatively, and the colonisation tended to be short lived.
