Alterations to the Lung Microbiome in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients

Alterations to the Lung Microbiome in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients

Lung microbiome ecosystem homeostasis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remains uncharacterized. The aims of this study were to identify unique microbial signatures of the lung microbiome and analyze microbial gene function in IPF patients. DNA isolated from BALF samples was obtained for high-t...
