It is also not clear if these treatment approaches for the Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection improve the person's quality of life or lifespan. The protein created by this gene is anchored to the outer membrane of cells in the sweat glands, lungs, pancreas, and all other remaining exocrine glands in the body. The early management of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is usually suggested using nebulised antibiotics with or without oral antibiotics to remove the bacteria from the person's airways for a period of time.

Many laboratories can test for the 30–96 most common CFTR mutations, which can identify over 90% of people with cystic fibrosis. Because development of CF in the fetus requires each parent to pass on a mutated copy of the CFTR gene and because CF testing is expensive, testing is often performed initially on one parent. Typhoid: Normal CFTR proteins are also essential for the entry of Salmonella Typhi into cells, [200] suggesting that carriers of mutant CFTR genes might be resistant to typhoid fever. Because people with cystic fibrosis have saltier sweat, the balance of minerals in their blood may be upset. When choosing antibiotics to treat lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in people with cystic fibrosis, it is still unclear whether the choice of antibiotics should be based on the results of testing antibiotics separately (one at a time) or in combination with each other.

Treatment of pancreatic insufficiency by replacement of missing digestive enzymes allows the duodenum to properly absorb nutrients and vitamins that would otherwise be lost in the feces. CF also affects other parts of the body, including the pancreas, and can make it difficult to digest food and maintain a healthy weight.

Germs can spread as far as 6 feet when someone coughs or sneezes, landing on surfaces or in another person's eyes, nose, or mouth. This effect is provided by devices that consists of a mask or a mouthpiece in which a resistance is applied only on the expiration phase. During severe illness, a tube may be placed in the throat (a procedure known as a tracheostomy) to enable breathing supported by a ventilator.Although only about one of every 3,000 newborns of the affected ancestry has CF, since the CFTR gene's discovery in 1989, over 2,000 variants have been identified, but only about 700 of these have been recognized as responsible for causing CF. One technique good for short-term airway clearance is chest physiotherapy where a respiratory therapist percusses an individual's chest by hand several times a day, to loosen up secretions. There's no cure for cystic fibrosis, but a range of treatments can help control the symptoms, prevent or reduce complications, and make the condition easier to live with.

This hypothesis is based on the thesis that CFTR mutant allele carriers have insufficient action in one of their enzymes – arylsulphatase – which is necessary for Mycobacterium tuberculosis virulence. locus of chromosome 7, is 230,000 base pairs long, and encodes a protein that is 1,480 amino acids long. Almost all men with cystic fibrosis are infertile because the tube that connects the testes and prostate gland (vas deferens) is either blocked with mucus or missing entirely.However, the best dosage and form of pancreatic enzyme replacement is unclear, as are the risks and long-term effectiveness of this treatment. Although there is no cure for cystic fibrosis, people with this condition are generally able to live normal lives. In addition, the evidence is increasing that genetic modifiers besides CFTR modulate the frequency and severity of the disease.
