Changes in cystic fibrosis airway microbial community associated with a severe decline in lung function.

Changes in cystic fibrosis airway microbial community associated with a severe decline in lung function.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease resulting in chronic polymicrobial infections of the airways and progressive decline in lung function. To gain insight into the underlying causes of severe lung diseases, we aimed at comparing the airway microbiota detected in sputum of CF patients with stab...
