Sputum DNA sequencing in cystic fibrosis: non-invasive access to the lung microbiome and to pathogen details

Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disorder, characterized by chronic microbial lung infections due to abnormally viscous mucus secretions within airways. The clinical management of CF typically involves regular respiratory-tract cultures in order to identify pathogens and...
