Alterations of microbiota structure in the larynx relevant to laryngeal carcinoma

Abstract The microbial communities that inhabit the laryngeal mucosa build stable microenvironments and have the potential to influence the health of the human throat. However, the associations between the microbiota structure and laryngeal carcinoma remain uncertain. Here, we explored this question...
