Characterizing human lung tissue microbiota and its relationship to epidemiological and clinical features
Characterizing human lung tissue microbiota and its relationship to epidemiological and clinical features
The human lung tissue microbiota remains largely uncharacterized, although a number of studies based on airway samples suggest the existence of a viable human lung microbiota. Here we characterized the taxonomic and derived functional profiles of lung microbiota in 165 non-malignant lung tissue samples from cancer patients.
