Biogeography of the Respiratory Tract Microbiome in Patients With Malignant Tracheal Tumors
BackgroundThis study aimed to characterize the bacterial microbiota in the oral cavity (OC), throat, trachea, and distal alveoli of patients with primary malignant tracheal tumors (PMTT), including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and salivary gland carcinoma patients (SGC), for comparison with a match...
