Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria Infections in Cystic Fibrosis Patients. (CIMENT)
Investigate the pulmonary microbiota associated with naturally multidrug-resistant, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NMT)  infections in cystic fibrosis patients and explore some potential dysbiosis that may set the stage for NTM colonization, development, and treatment response. We compared the microbiota of sputum samples from 36 NTM-positive PWCF and 72 CF NTM-negative controls (1 case versus 2 controls).
