The human respiratory tract microbial community structures in healthy and cystic fibrosis infants

Abstract The metagenome development of the human respiratory tract was investigated by shotgun metagenome metagenomic sequencing of cough swabs from healthy children and children with cystic fibrosis (CF) between 3 weeks and 6 years of age. A healthy microbial community signature was associated with...
