Studying the lung microbiome requires a specialist approach to sampling, laboratory techniques and statistical analysis. This Monograph introduces the techniques used and discusses how respiratory sampling, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, metagenomics and the application of ecological theory can be used to examine the respiratory microbiome. It examines the different components of the respiratory microbiome: viruses and fungi in addition to the more frequently studied bacteria. It also considers a range of contexts from the paediatric microbiome and how this develops to disease of all ages including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic suppurative lung diseases, interstitial lung diseases, acquired pneumonias, transplantation, cancer and HIV, and the interaction of the respiratory microbiome and the environment.
Michael J. Cox is a microbial ecologist and postdoctoral research associate in the Genomic Medicine section of the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London (London, UK). He is a co-director of the recently established Microbiome@Imperial network. Markus J. Ege is a professor of clinical respiratory epidemiology at LMU Munich (Munich, Germany). Erika von Mutius is a professor of paediatric allergology. She is head of the Asthma and Allergy Department at the Dr. von Hauner Children's Hospital in Munich (Germany). Since 2017, she has lead the Institute for Asthma and Allergy Prevention at Helmholtz Zentrum Munich – German Research Center for Environmental Health (Neuherberg, Germany).
