Abnormal respiratory microbiomes are reported in children with artificial airways, yet the timing and persistence of these disruptions have not been defined in infants following new tracheostomy placement. We conducted a prospective longitudinal study to characterize airway microbiome dynamics following new tracheostomy placement during early life, a critical period for microbiome development. Fifteen hospitalized infants <=12 months contributed 84 tracheal aspirate samples collected from day 1 ...
