Microbiota analysis optimization for human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

29 Oct 2019

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is now possible to comprehensively characterize the microbiota of the lungs using culture-independent, sequencing-based assays. Several sample types have been used to investigate the lung microbiota, each presenting specific challenges for preparation and analysis of microbial communities. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) enables the identification of microbiota specific to the lower lung but...
