Fig. 5From: Correlation of the lung microbiota with metabolic profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in HIV infectionOverall schema. Overall schematic that postulates that HIV infection alters metabolomic profiles in lung (inflammatory and oxidant pathways) which causes a shift in the functional properties of the lung microbiome and/or in the host response to the lung microbiome which may lead to an increased risk of lung infection or to chronic lung disease associated with HIVBack to article page
