Lung Microbiota in Lung Transplant Recipients at CLAD Onset
The goal of this project was to determine the relationship between lung microbiota, clinical outcomes, and treatment response among lung transplant recipients with chronic rejection. Bacterial communities in acellular bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected near the time of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) diagnosis were characterized using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq platform
