Comparative Evaluation of Bacterial Diversity and Richness in CF Lung in Patients Who Use Cycled Every Other Month Tobramycin Inhalation Powder (TOBI™ Podhaler™) Or Continuous Alternating Therapy With Tobramycin Inhalation Powder (TOBI™ Podhaler™) and Inhaled Colistimethate

The purpose of this study is to characterize bacterial diversity and richness in the sputum
of cystic fibrosis patients treated with every-other-month TOBI™ Podhaler™ and continuous
alternating therapy with TOBI™ Podhaler and colistimethate (Colistin).

Exclusion Criteria:

- Age <18 years

- Inability to routinely expectorate sputum without induction by hypertonic saline

- Inability to provide or withdrawal of written informed consent

- History of aminoglycoside sensitivity or adverse reaction to inhaled antibiotics

- Serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ≥40 mg/dl

- Pregnancy or lactating at screening

- History of systemic intravenous anti-Pseudomonal antibiotics within 28 days of
enrollment
