CRISPR-mediated detection of Pneumocystis transcripts in bronchoalveolar, oropharyngeal, and serum specimens for Pneumocystis pneumonia diagnosis
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is a leading cause of fungal pneumonia, but its diagnosis primarily relies on invasive bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens that are difficult to obtain. Oroph...

Pneumocystis jirovecii is a potential pivotal ecological driver contributing to shifts in microbial equilibrium during the early-life lower airway microbiome assembly - Communications Biology
Early-life lung microbiota is dynamic, with major shifts at 3–4 months. Transient microbes dominate, but some persist, influencing lung health. Pneumocystis jirovecii may be a key driver of microbial ...
