New publication in Nature Medicine

Robert Dickson was part of a team of investigators who have published a new original research manuscript in Nature Medicine: “Robust airway microbiome signatures in acute respiratory failure and hospital-acquired pneumonia.” This study both (1) meta-analyzed patient-level lung microbiome data from 17 published studies and (2) validated key findings in a new cohort of 136 mechanically ventilated patients. These results confirm the biological and clinical significance of respiratory microbiota in critical illness.

This study was a result of a European Union Horizon 2020 award (HAP2) to which Robert Dickson contributed microbiome data and analyses, led by Antoine Roquilly (senior author).
