Characteristics of Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Microbiomes After Lung Transplantation

The composition and characteristics of the respiratory microbiome are crucial for diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases. Current research on chronic lung diseases shows differences in the composition and characteristics of upper and lower respiratory tract microbiomes. However, there is a lack of research data in the field of lung transplantation. As a special population, what are the characteristics of the upper and lower airway microbiomes in lung transplant recipients after transplantation? This study aims to explore this question.
