Reduced Airway Surface pH Impairs Bacterial Killing in the Porcine Cystic Fibrosis Lung

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (1). Although bacterial lung infection and the resulting inflammation cause most of the morbidity and mortality, how loss of CFTR first disrupts airway host de...
