Understanding Antibiotic Resistance in Chronic Lung Disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study observes how bacteria in the lungs of people with chronic lung diseases like bronchiectasis or COPD develop resistance to antibiotics. By tracking your lung health and bacterial samples over time, researchers hope to better understand and prevent antibiotic resistance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how bacteria live in the lungs of people with bronchiectasis and how they may adapt over time. It may help researchers understand why infections keep coming back and how to better manage chronic lung colonization.
This study looks at the bacteria in the lungs, infection patterns, and CT scan findings in people with COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis. It aims to understand these conditions better and may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at how bacteria in the lungs become resistant to antibiotics. It may help doctors choose better treatments for people with serious lung infections in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at why bronchiectasis gets worse over time. It may help doctors understand the disease better and find better ways to monitor or treat it.
This study looks at how well different treatments work for people with lung infections or sudden worsening of chronic lung disease. If you have a respiratory sample available and are about to start an antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, or steroid, you may be able to join.
This study follows people with chronic airway diseases like COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis who were recently hospitalized for a worsening of their condition. It aims to understand how these diseases affect overall health and other medical problems over time.
