The specific interactions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), and the lung microbiota in infection are entirely unexplored. Studies in cancer and other infectious diseases suggest that there are important exchanges occurring between host and microbiota that influence the immunological landscape. This can result in alterations in immune regulation and inflammation both locally and systemically. To assess whether Mtb infection modifies the lung microbiome, and identify changes in microbial abundance and diversity as a function of pulmonary inflammation, we compared infected and uninfected lung lobe washes collected serially from 26 macaques by bronchoalveolar lavage over the course of infection.

LEfSe (tool)

RRID:SCR_014609

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Algorithm for high-dimensional biomarker discovery and explanation that identifies genes, pathways, or taxa characterizing the differences between two or more biological conditions. The algorithm identifies features that are statistically different among biological classes, then performs additional tests to assess whether these differences are consistent with respect to expected biological behavior. Statistical significance and biological relevance are emphasized.
