Airway Microbiome Insights

	Frequent Bacterial Species	Diversity Trends
Cystic Fibrosis	Pseudomonas spp., Staphylococcus spp., Haemophilus spp., Burkholderia spp., Prevotella spp., Veillonella spp., and Gemella spp.	Lower diversity is associated with Pseudomonas spp. and decreased pulmonary function
Asthma	Moraxella spp. and Haemophilus spp.	Higher diversity is associated with a lower risk of developing asthma
Prematurity	Staphylococcus spp. and Ureaplasma spp.	Increasing bacterial turnover over time is associated with the development of more severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia
