Lung infection with Burkholderia cepacia complex before lung transplantation in patients with cystic fibrosis is a major risk factor for decreased post-operative survival rates compared with those of patients colonized with the more common opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because adherence to mucosal surfaces is an important initial step in infection, we investigated the use of non-toxic neutral polysaccharides and a sugar alcohol to prevent adherence of B cepacia complex to allograft airway epithelium.
