- Title
On Bugs and Blowholes: Why Is Aspiration the Rule, Not the Exception?
- Authors
Mac Aogáin, Micheál; Baker, Jennifer M.; Dickson, Robert P.
- Abstract
The article discusses a study by Wu and colleagues which suggests a potential protective effect of subclinical aspiration on host susceptibility to pneumonia. It mentions that after simulating subclinical microaspiration of nonpathogenic bacteria, the authors characterized temporal changes in lung microbiome composition, host immune response, and susceptibility to subsequent infectious challenge.
