Funded Activity Summary

This project will be largest study of non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection in cystic fibrosis. By combining growing the bacteria with detailed information from the CF patient data registry, geographical location and environmental conditions, this study will provide novel insights into factors associated with NTM. Gene sequencing and airway infection profiling will extend understanding and has the potential to identify novel risk factors and biomarkers for NTM-related airways disease.
