Lung and gut microbiota are altered by hyperoxia and contribute to oxygen-induced lung injury, part IV
The goal of this experiment was to determine the relationship between gut microbiota and lung inflammation in genetically-identical mice exposured to various durations of acute hyperoxia. 10-week old mice (C57Bl/6) were exposed to 95% FiO2 (hyperoxia) for 0, 24, 48, or 72 hours. Bacterial communities were characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
