Summary

This study looks at the bacteria living in the lungs of people with a chronic lung condition called bronchiectasis who may also have an NTM infection. Researchers will collect sputum and airway samples from 1000 participants to compare the lung microbiome of those with and without active NTM disease. The goal is to find bacterial patterns that could help diagnose or understand NTM disease better.
