What is Bacterial Populations in Healthy Lungs about?

This study analyzed the bacterial populations in the respiratory tracts of six healthy individuals using molecular methods. The researchers found that: 1) Bacterial communities in the lungs had the same composition as those in the upper respiratory tract, but were 2-4 logs lower in biomass. 2) Rare lung-specific bacterial sequences were not shared among individuals, indicating there is no distinct lung microbiome. 3) The healthy lung contains low levels of bacteria that are largely indistinguishable from
