Abstract

Ivacaftor is a potentiator of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that reduces Pseudomonas aeruginosa culture positivity in CF patients with unclear mechanisms. Riquelme et al. (2017) propose that improved CFTR trafficking could enhance P. aeruginosa clearance through activating the tumor suppressor PTEN.
