Differences in the microbiome between Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific by sputum culture illustrating the predominant organisms in stable states and viruses only during exacerbations. The bacteriome contributes to host inflammation and disease severity, the virome in exacerbations and the mycobiome is an understudied group with potential clinical impact. Abbreviations: US – United States, UK – United Kingdom, P. aeruginosa – Pseudomonas aeruginosa, NTM – Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria, H.influenzae – Haemophilus influenzae, NTHi – Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae, HTLV-1 – Human T-Lymphotropic Virus type 1, C. albicans – Candida albicans, ABPA – Allergic Broncho-Pulmonary Aspergillosis, CPA – Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis, IPA – Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis, IA – Invasive Aspergillosis ↑ - Increased, ↓ - Decreased
