Bacterial Topography of the Healthy Human Lower Respiratory Tract
ABSTRACT Although culture-independent techniques have refuted lung sterility in health, controversy about contamination during bronchoscope passage through the upper respiratory tract (URT) has impeded research progress. We sought to establish whether bronchoscopic sampling accurately reflects the l...
