Summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety and efficacy of tobramycin in patients with cystic fibrosis who are chronically colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. II. Determine whether this treatment produces tobramycin-resistant bacteria at a frequency different from the placebo group and whether the emergence of resistance is associated with a lack of clinical response.
