Study Summary
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are opportunistic pathogens normally found in soil and water that are being cultured from Cystic Fibrosis (CF) airways at an increasing frequency. They have been demonstrated to cause clinically significant lung disease in some cases and the transmission of NTM, from person to person has been proposed. There are currently no standardized guidelines for isolation of those colonized or infected with NTM. The investigators will measure particle droplet size from patients with CF who have positive sputum cultures for NTM with the hypothesis that they will be in a range that can spread infection.
Primary Outcome
Patients with CF and a positive sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) culture for NTM will cough into a chamber filled with culture plates that can measure droplet size. The investigators are looking for large droplets, that could land on surfaces and be a source for infection transmission, as well as fine droplets(5 microns or less)that are consistent with airborne transmission.
