Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the fungal communities in the lungs of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to those without CF, as traditional methods have not provided a clear understanding of these fungal populations.
- Using a new genetic sequencing technique, researchers analyzed bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples to measure fungal load and characterize the mycobiome.
- Results showed higher total fungal load and inflammation in CF patients, with notable differences in specific fungal populations, pointing to the need for further studies that include comparisons with bacterial communities in the airways.*
