Microbiosis in lung allotransplantation and xenotransplantation: State of the art and future perspective

Microbiosis in lung allotransplantation and xenotransplantation: State of the art and future perspective

The respiratory tract is known to harbor a microbial community including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. New techniques contribute enormously to the identification of unknown or culture-independent species and reveal the interaction of the community with the host immune system. We review the most advanced knowledge of the dynamics and resilience of microbial communities in transplanted lungs with various pretransplant indications.
