Abstract
This disclosure relates to metal nanoparticle compositions and methods for treating respiratory infections associated with cystic fibrosis. An amount of nonionic, ground state metal nanoparticles are administered to a patient via inhalation. The metal nanoparticles have properties that enable effective transport through the viscous mucus layer to the epithelia and surrounding tissues, killing or deactivating infecting microbes at the targeted respiratory tissue and throughout the overlying mucus layer.
