Acetate-producing bacterium

Lung cancer accounts for the large majority of cancer incidence and mortality worldwide for decades. The dysbiotic microbiome and its metabolite secretions in the gut have been regarded as the dominant biological factors in oncogenesis, development, and progression, adding probiotic components of which have come to be potential therapeutic regimes. However, there still exists little knowledge about whether probiotic microorganisms in lower airways inhibit lung cancer by lung microenvironment remodulation. In this study, we performed bioinformatics analysis from previous sequencing data and specific microbiome databases to identify the potent protective microbes in lower airways, followed by bacterial cultivation and morphological verifications
