Disordered Microbial Communities in the Upper Respiratory Tract of Cigarette Smokers

20 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

Cigarette smokers have an increased risk of infectious diseases involving the respiratory tract. Some effects of smoking on specific respiratory tract bacteria have been described, but the consequences for global airway microbial community composition have not been determined. Here, we used culture-independent high-density sequencing to analyze the microbiota from the right and left nasopharynx and oropharynx of...
