TLDR
In this paper, the authors review and synthesize published reports of the lung microbiota of healthy and diseased subjects, discuss trends of microbial diversity and constitution across disease states, and look to the extrapulmonary microbiome for hypotheses and future directions for study.Abstract:
Novel culture-independent techniques have recently demonstrated that the lower respiratory tract, historically considered sterile in health, contains diverse communities of microbes: the lung microbiome. Increasing evidence supports the concept that a distinct microbiota of the lower respiratory tract is present both in health and in various respiratory diseases, although the biological and clinical significance of these findings remains undetermined. In this article, the authors review and synthesize published reports of the lung microbiota of healthy and diseased subjects, discuss trends of microbial diversity and constitution across disease states, and look to the extrapulmonary microbiome for hypotheses and future directions for study.read more

Analysis of the Upper Respiratory Tract Microbiotas as the Source of the Lung and Gastric Microbiotas in Healthy Individuals
Christine M. Bassis,John R. Erb-Downward,Robert P. Dickson,Christine M. Freeman,Thomas M. Schmidt,Vincent B. Young,James M. Beck,James M. Beck,Jeffrey L. Curtis,Gary B. Huffnagle +9 more
TL;DR: Molecular immigration from the oral cavity appears to be the significant source of the lung microbiome during health, but unlike the stomach, the lungs exhibit evidence of selective elimination of Prevotella bacteria derived from the upper airways.

The Microbiome and the Respiratory Tract
TL;DR: The topography and population dynamics of the respiratory tract is described, both in health and as altered by acute and chronic lung disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory epithelial cells orchestrate pulmonary innate immunity
TL;DR: The biophysical nature of pulmonary host defenses are integrated with the ability of respiratory epithelial cells to respond to and 'instruct' the professional immune system to protect the lungs from infection and injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emerging world of the fungal microbiome.
TL;DR: The study of the fungal microbiota is a new and rapidly emerging field that lags behind the authors' understanding of the bacterial microbiome, especially as a reservoir for blooms of pathogenic microbes when the host is compromised and as a potential cofactor in inflammatory diseases and metabolic disorders.

Spatial Variation in the Healthy Human Lung Microbiome and the Adapted Island Model of Lung Biogeography
Robert P. Dickson,John R. Erb-Downward,Christine M. Freeman,Lisa McCloskey,James M. Beck,James M. Beck,Gary B. Huffnagle,Jeffrey L. Curtis +7 more
TL;DR: The lung microbiome in health is more influenced by microbial immigration and elimination (the adapted island model) than by the effects of local growth conditions on bacterial reproduction rates, which are more determinant in advanced lung diseases.

Probiotics for the Prevention and Treatment of Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea
Susanne Hempel,Sydne J Newberry,Alicia Ruelaz Maher,Zhen Wang,Jeremy N. V. Miles,Roberta M. Shanman,Paul G. Shekelle +6 more
TL;DR: The pooled evidence suggests that probiotics are associated with a reduction in AAD, and there exists significant heterogeneity in pooled results and the evidence is insufficient to determine whether this association varies systematically by population, antibiotic characteristic, or probiotic preparation.

Atopy in children of families with an anthroposophic lifestyle
TL;DR: Prevalence of atopy is lower in children from anthroposophic families than in children of the same age at two neighbouring schools and there was an inverse relation between the number of characteristic features of an anthropOSophic lifestyle and risk ofAtopy.

TL;DR: There is a detectable bacterial community within human lung tissue that changes in patients with very severe COPD.

TL;DR: A range of anaerobic species are present in large numbers in the lungs of patients with CF, and informed alterations to antibiotic treatment to target anaerobes, in addition to the primary infecting pathogens, may improve management.

Probiotics for treating infectious diarrhoea.
TL;DR: Probiotics appear to be a useful adjunct to rehydration therapy in treating acute, infectious diarrhoea in adults and children and more research is needed to inform the use of particular probiotic regimens in specific patient groups.
