Do Human Lungs and Urinary Bladder Have a Normal Flora?

Hot off the press 09/28/2012:
Identification of microbes in healthy lungs sheds light on cystic fibrosis
Healthy people's lungs are home to a diverse community of microbes that differs markedly from the bacteria found in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. That's the result of new research from Stanford University and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, which has wide implications for treatment of cystic fibrosis and other lung diseases. "The lung is not a sterile organ," said David Cornfield, MD, an author of the new study, which will be published Sept. 26 in Science Translational Medicine. Eurekalert!

Potential Intussusception Risk versus Benefits of Rotavirus Vaccination in the United States.
The burden of severe rotavirus disease averted due to vaccination compared with the vaccine-associated intussusception events offers a side-by-side analysis of the benefits and potential risks. If an intussusception risk similar to that seen internationally exists in the US, it is substantially exceeded by the benefits of rotavirus disease burden averted by vaccination.
