Comparative analysis of the bronchoalveolar microbiome in Portuguese patients w...
Seixas, Susana; Kolbe, Allison R.; Gomes, Sílvia; Sucena, Maria; Sousa, Catarina; Vaz Rodrigues, Luís; Teixeira, Gilberto; Pinto, PaulaThe lung is inhabited by a diverse microbiome that originates from the oropharynx by a mechanism of micro-aspiration. Its bacterial biomass is usually low; however, this condition shifts in lung cancer (LC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD).
