Our research focus in RESIST is the analysis of the lower airway microbial metagenome of individuals with chronic lung disease. Understanding the abundance and diversity of non-pathogenic and (opportunistic) pathogenic species in the healthy population and the succession of characteristic subpopulations over time in patients provides key information to pursue the goal of \u2018curing a patient\u2019 by reverting a harmful to a healthy microbiome.<\/p>\n

We hypothesize that protective factors produced by representatives of the commensal microflora can antagonize the spread of pervasive pathogens. In- depth genome analysis of the identified \u2018key players\u2019 in the airway microflora will therefore be used to identify potentially protective factors\/substances. If successful, this may pave the way for new forms of therapy that could use naturally produced but so far unknown or underexplored secondary metabolites as starting points for drug candidates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
