NIH funded research project to develop breath biomarkers for detecting Staphylococcus aureus lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients through secondary analysis of clinical study data.
Description
This project aims to develop non-invasive breath tests to detect Staphylococcus aureus lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients, utilizing breath biomarkers identified through secondary analysis of clinical data. Objectives include identifying breath biomarkers that differentiate S. aureus positive vs. negative CF patients, differentiating S. aureus from P. aeruginosa lung infections, and distinguishing mono-infections from co-infections involving S. aureus.
