Tracking the hidden source of lung infections in cystic fibrosis
NCT ID NCT05686837
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study aims to find out how nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) — a hard-to-treat lung infection — spreads among people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Researchers will collect dust and water samples from clinics and patients' homes, and map water sources to see if they match the NTM found in patients' lungs. The goal is to identify infection sources and prevent future outbreaks. About 100 children and adults with CF who have had a positive NTM culture will take part.
