Longitudinal analysis of the lung microbiota of cynomolgous macaques during long-term SHIV infection

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Longitudinal studies of the lung microbiome are challenging due to the invasive nature of sample collection. In addition, studies of the lung microbiome in human disease are usually performed after disease onset, limiting the ability to determine early events in the lung. We used a non-human primate model to assess lung microbiome alterations over time in response to an HIV-like immunosuppression and...
