WGS of NTM From Sputum of NTM Lung Disease Patients and From Their Environments

Conditions
Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Infection
Whole Genome Sequencing
Registration Number
NCT03532438
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to identify the genetic closeness of NTM derived from patients living together and from their surrounding environment and to trace the temporal relationship between them.

Detailed Description

After NTM isolation is done by using culture, from patients' sputum/bronchoscopic samples and their environmental samples, whole genome sequencing (WGS) will be conducted for all NTM isolates. Phylogenetic analysis will be performed based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on each NTM.
