Taxonomic composition and predicted functional potential of the sputum bacterial microbiome in Iraqi patients with bronchiectasis using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing

Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by persistent airway inflammation and recurrent infections. Although alterations in the airway microbiome have been reported, data from Middle Eastern populations remain limited. This study aimed to characterize the sputum bacterial microbiome and predict it...
