Abstract
BACKGROUND: pneumonia (RMPP). METHODS: pneumonia (NRMPP), and characterized the structure and function of microbiota in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) by metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS). RESULTS: had a negative correlation with hospitalization days among NRMPP patients. CONCLUSIONS: ) in RMPP patients.
