Analysis of sputum microbial metagenome in COPD based on exacerbation frequency and lung function: a case control study

Abstract Background The role of the sputum microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) progression remains elusive. As the advent of the new culture-independent microbial sequencing technique makes it possible to disclose the complex microbiome community of the respiratory tract. The...
