The present invention relates to a method for treating or preventing pathogenic infections in a subject having Cystic Fibrosis, COPD, and/or an open wound. This method involves selecting a subject having Cystic Fibrosis, COPD, and/or an open wound and administering to the selected subject a ceramidase under conditions effective to reduce ceramide and to treat or prevent the pathogenic infection. The method also involves the use of a ceramidase in combination with other drugs to reduce infection, reduce ceramide, or improve lung function in Cystic Fibrosis, COPD, and/or open wound patients.
