Perspectives in lung microbiome research.

Perspectives in lung microbiome research. Curr Opin Microbiol. 2020 Jul 02;56:24-29 Authors: Sulaiman I, Schuster S, Segal LN Abstract Our understanding of the existence and role of the lung microbiome has grown at a slower pace than other microbiome research areas. This is likely a consequence of the original dogma that the lung was a sterile environment although there are other barriers that are worth discussing. Here we will not be conducting an exhaustive review of the current literature on the lung microbiome, but rather we will focus on what we see as some important challenges that the field needs to face in order to improve our mechanistic understanding of the lung microbiome and its role on human health.
