Chronic pulmonary infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa occurs in up to 85 % of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) by the time they reach adulthood, and is the major cause of morbidity and mortality: nearly all patients die from progressive respiratory failure due to repeated pulmonary exacerbations. However, despite the predilection of this organism for the lungs of CF people, infection of the pleura is much less common and is not well described in the CF population. We describe what is believed to be the first case of pleural empyema due to a particularly pathogenic transmissible strain of P. aeruginosa (the Liverpool epidemic strain) in an adult CF patient.

The occurrence of pulmonary fungal superinfection due to Aspergillus spp. in patients with COVID-19 is a well-described complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This can be related to a directed effect of the virus and to the immunosuppressive role of the therapies administered for the disease. Here, we describe the first case of pulmonary infection due to Mucorales occurring in a patient with a concomitant diagnosis of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis.

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that is able to cause various infections, including airway infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Here, we present the complete closed and annotated genome sequence of P. aeruginosa AA2, an isolate obtained early during infection of the respiratory tract of a German cystic fibrosis patient.
