Composition of the sputum bacterial microbiome of patients with different pathomorphological forms of non-small-cell lung cancer by V. G. Druzhinin, E. D. Baranova, P. S. Demenkov, L. V. Matskova, A. V. Larionov

“…The sputum microbiomes of patients with different histological types of lung cancer and controls did not show significant differences in terms of the species richness index (Shannon); however, the patients differed from the controls in terms of evenness index (Pielou). The structures of bacterial communities (beta diversity) in the adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma groups were also similar; however, when analyzed according to the matrix constructed by the Bray–Curtis method, there were differences between patients with squamous cell carcinoma and healthy subjects, but not between those with adenocarcinoma and controls. …”
