<p><strong><em>AIM:</em></strong> The article describes the experience of the childrens Center in St. Petersburg to prevent cross-infection of patients with cystic fibrosis who have the different luge microbiome.</p>
<p><strong><em>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</em></strong> The measures taken included a system for monitoring and dynamic control of the seeded pathogenic microflora with a strict separation of patients with cystic fibrosis, who had the isolation and carriage of various pathogens. The system provided for the separation of flows of patients with cystic fibrosis and the prevention of cross-infection, as well as a number of activities related to the disinfection of equipment.</p>
<p><strong><em>RESULTS:</em></strong> The methods adopted and put into practice have ensured the prevention of cross-infection of patients with cystic fibrosis, excreting various pathogenic bacteria from sputum. The patient management system made it possible to halve the number of hospitalizations of patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection per CF patient per year: from 1.3 in 2001 to 0.6 in 2021, reduce the risk of cross-infection, reduce the number of relapses, hospitalizations and the average length of stay of a patient in a hospital.</p>
<p><strong><em>CONCLUSIONS:</em></strong> The developed system of assistance has shown its effectiveness and can be implemented in one form or another in the work of cystic fibrosis treatment centers in the Russian Federation.</p>cystic fibrosis in childrenprevention of cystic fibrosiscross-infectiondisinfection in cystic fibrosisмуковисцидоз у детейпрофилактика муковисцидозаперекрестное инфицированиедезинфекция при муковисцидозе[Shaginyan IA, Kapranov NI, Chernuxa MYu, et al.
