The temporal dynamics of the tracheal microbiome in tracheostomised patients with and without lower respiratory infections.

The temporal dynamics of the tracheal microbiome in tracheostomised patients with and without lower respiratory infections.

Airway microbiota dynamics during lower respiratory infection (LRI) are still poorly understood due, in part, to insufficient longitudinal studies and lack of uncontaminated lower airways samples.
