Sputum microbiome in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis

Definitions

Pulmonary tuberculosis patients: the patients were clinically diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis based on sputum smear, sputum culture, and computed tomography results. All patients were free of HIV. None of the patients had taken antibiotics for at least 3 months before sampling.

Healthy participants: the participants were free of basic pulmonary diseases, severe lung disease, severe oral disease, systemic disease, and other known diseases such as obesity or diabetes, which could affect the microbial composition of the respiratory tract. Volunteers with a history of smoking or drinking were also excluded. The healthy participants had not taken any antibiotics for at least 3 months before sampling. The samples from healthy participants were a mixture of saliva and pharyngeal secretions collected by deep coughing in the early morning before gargling.

Microbiota: the bacterial composition.
