TL;DR: This work describes in detail and step by step, the process of building, analyzing and visualizing microbiome networks from operational taxonomic unit (OTU) tables in R and RStudio, using several different approaches and extensively commented code snippets.

TL;DR: A knowledge translation initiative to educate diagnostic specialists about sampling techniques and laboratory processes was undertaken to improve the uptake and application of molecular testing in advanced lung cancer.

TL;DR: Relative abundance data and community composition generated by 16S sequencing of BALF samples across the range of density commonly observed in this sample type should be interpreted in the context of input sample density and may be improved by simple pre- and post-sequencing steps for densities above 8E+ 04 16S copies/ml.

TL;DR: The possibility of HPS should be considered in sarcoidosis patients with liver involvement, if gas-exchange abnormalities are out of proportion to the degree of lung involvement, and the possibility of a cerebral abscess by paradoxical embolization is considered.

TL;DR: This MiniReview examines recent advances in understanding within-host diversity and antimicrobial resistance in P. aeruginosa populations from the lower airways of individuals with the fatal genetic disease cystic fibrosis and the potential impacts that this diversity may have on detecting and interpreting antimicrobial susceptibility within these populations.
