Microbial Composition of the Laryngotracheal Region: A Systematic Review

Microbiome research has predominantly focused on the oral cavity and oropharynx's role in disease, while the upper airway, specifically the larynx and trachea, has been relatively overlooked. Examining the microbial communities in these regions can shed light on how dysbiosis influences diseases and their management. This review evaluates laryngotracheal microbial compositions in both healthy and diseased patients.
