Biofilm aggregates and the host airway-microbial interface

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Luanne Hall-Stoodley from the University of Technology Sydney, Australia have published the research work: Biofilm aggregates and the host airway-microbial interface, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: While this study suggests that aggregates may be more prevalent in lower airway infections than previously thought, only sputum samples were evaluated and since people with COPD are at higher risk of CAP, it is not clear if bronchiectasis plays a role in bacterial aggregation.
• how: This review discusses the specific mucosal epithelial microenvironments lining the airway focusing on i) biofilms in the human . . .
