Altered community compositions of Proteobacteria in adults with bronchiectasis

Abstract excerpt

Background: Bronchiectasis is a debilitating disease with chronic airway infection. Proteobacteria , the dominant phylum, can be detected with high-throughput sequencing. Objective: To stratify Proteobacteria compositions according to culture findings in bronchiectasis. Patients and methods: We sampled sputum, split for culture and 16srRNA sequencing, from 106 patients with stable bronchiectasis and 17 healthy...
