Introduction
The CF Referral Center for Susceptibility & Synergy Studies, also referred to as "The Synergy Lab,"  was started in 1991 as a research project to assist CF clinicians treating CF patients infected with multi-drug resistant organisms. We perform standardized susceptibility and synergy studies for multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas isolated from CF patients.
