Lung and Gut Microbiota Changes Associated with <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Infection in Mouse Models of Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) disease leads to altered lung and gut microbiomes compared to healthy subjects. The magnitude of this dysbiosis is influenced by organ-specific microenvironmental conditions at different stages of the disease. However, how this gut-lung dysbiosis is influenced by <i>Pseudo...
