Bronchial Microbiome, PA Biofilm-Forming Capacity and Exacerbation in Severe COPD Patients Colonized by <i>P. Aeruginosa</i>

Abstract

The bronchial microbiome shows differences according with P. aeruginosa biofilm-forming capacity. Pathogenic microorganisms other than P. aeruginosa cause a significant part of the exacerbations in colonized chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
