NTM outbreak study for people with positive lung samples

This trial follows people with cystic fibrosis to better understand how “nontuberculous mycobacteria” (a type of lung germ) spreads between healthcare visits and care settings. It may help improve future prevention and monitoring strategies for CF patients who have had these bacteria.

This study follows people with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB), whether they have inactive “latent” TB or active TB. It helps researchers better understand TB’s natural course and may improve future testing and care by allowing collection and storage of samples.

This study looks at the community of tiny organisms in the lungs (the lung microbiome) in people with bronchiectasis caused by NTM (non-tuberculous mycobacteria). It compares people with positive NTM cultures to people without, to better understand what’s going on in the lungs and why symptoms may differ.

This study compares the health of people with NTM lung disease (not on antibiotics) to people with bronchiectasis (who have never had NTM infection). It aims to understand how these conditions affect daily life.

This study looks at whether people with cystic fibrosis (CF) can pick up nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from their home environment. It compares homes of people with CF who have NTM to those who don't, to see where germs might be hiding.

This trial studies whether a program of exercise and airway clearance education helps people with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease. It aims to improve breathing and quality of life.
