The murine lung microbiome in relation to the intestinal and vaginal bacterial communities. mouse metagenome

The first description of the bacterial population of the lung microbiota in mice. Bacterial communities from broncho-alveolar lavage fluids and lung tissue were compared to samples taken from fecal matter (caecum) and vaginal lavage fluid from female BALB/cJ mice.

本研究首次对小鼠肺部微生物群的细菌种群展开描述。研究将雌性BALB/cJ小鼠支气管肺泡灌洗液（broncho-alveolar lavage fluids）、肺组织中的细菌群落，与取自该小鼠粪便（盲肠）及阴道灌洗液的样本进行了对比。
