A one-year funded project to develop sensitive breath tests for detecting Staphylococcus aureus lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients, improving patient care through non-invasive diagnostics.
Description
This project aims to identify breath biomarkers of Staphylococcus aureus to enable non-invasive, rapid detection of lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients unable to produce sputum. The study involves secondary analysis of breath volatilomics data and clinical metadata from the IMPACT-Breath clinical study.
