High-Resolution Longitudinal Dynamics of the Cystic Fibrosis Sputum Microbiome and Metabolome through Antibiotic Therapy
ABSTRACT Microbial diversity in the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung decreases over decades as pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa take over. The dynamics of the CF microbiome and metabolome over shorter time frames, however, remain poorly studied. Here, we analyze paired microbiome and meta...
