- Authors
Ritchie, Andrew I.; Singanayagam, Aran
- Abstract
The article reflects on largest metagenomic evaluation of respiratory specimens performed to date which provides an in-depth evaluation of the airway metagenome across a range of chronic respiratory disease states (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe asthma, and bronchiectasis) and health. It mentions causal role for macrolide therapy in increasing the carriage of antibiotic-resistance genes. It also mentions unrestricted DNA sequencing of all genetic material.
