Abstract
The field of inhaled antibiotics that target Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections has made substantial contributions to the health, disease management, and life expectancies of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) over the last three decades [1-3]. This paper reviews some of the recent clinical developments in the field of inhaled antibiotics for CF and briefly describes formulations and ongoing developments for US and/or European regulatory approvals. Lung delivery technologies, in regards to inhaled antibiotics for CF, are also reviewed
