Summary: | Background: Microbial culture-independent sequencing techniques have advanced our understanding of host-microbiome interactions in health and disease. The purpose of this study was to explore the dysbiosis of airway microbiota in patients with moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and compare them with healthy controls.
Methods: The COPD patients were investigated for disease severity based on airflow limitations and divided into moderate (50%≤FEV1 |
