Observing antibiotic resistance in chronic lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how bacteria in the lungs become resistant to antibiotics in people with chronic lung disease. It aims to understand this process to improve treatment and prevent infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a long-term lung condition like bronchiectasis or COPD
- You may or may not have a bacterial infection or colonization in your lungs (the study includes people with various bacteria such as pseudomonas or staphylococcus, as well as people without any)
- You must be able to come to the clinic for regular visits
- You must not be pregnant
- You must be able to understand and agree to take part

This study looks at antibiotic resistance in people with chronic lung disease by checking their respiratory samples. It aims to understand how resistance develops and help improve treatment.
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 new ways to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria in people with certain common infections. It may help by testing approaches tailored to the specific germs found in your urine, lungs, or deeper infections.
This study looks at how bacteria in the lungs react to antibiotics. By joining, you help doctors understand which antibiotics work best for serious lung infections in the ICU.
This study looks at the bacteria in your airways, how infections affect you, and chest imaging (like CT scans) in people with chronic airway inflammation (COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis). It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.
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.
