Case Studies of the Spatial Heterogeneity of DNA Viruses in the Cystic Fibrosis Lung
7 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Microbial communities in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been shown to be spatially heterogeneous. Viral communities may also vary spatially, leading to localized viral populations and infections. Here, we characterized viral communities from multiple areas of the lungs of two patients with late-stage CF using metagenomics, that is, the...
