NCT ID NCT06155747
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study helps U.S. healthcare centers figure out if patients are getting NTM lung infections from the hospital environment. Researchers will compare germs from patients' lungs with germs from water and dust in the hospital and homes. The goal is to create a standard method to detect and stop these outbreaks. About 100 patients and their healthcare centers will take part.
