Community dynamics and the lower airway microbiota in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, smokers and healthy non-smokers

4 May 2016

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: The role bacteria play in the progression of COPD has increasingly been highlighted in recent years. However, the microbial community complexity in the lower airways of patients with COPD is poorly characterised. OBJECTIVES: To compare the lower airway microbiota in patients with COPD, smokers and non-smokers. METHODS: Bronchial wash samples from adults with COPD (n=18), smokers with no airways disease...
