Your home water may hide a lung infection risk for cystic fibrosis patients
NCT ID NCT07369414
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is investigating whether germs called non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) found in home water systems and dust can cause lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis. Researchers will collect samples from the homes of 120 CF patients—some with NTM infections and some without—and compare the germs found there to those from patient sputum. The goal is to understand how people get these infections and to find ways to prevent them in the future.
