I found this very long article on the state of research into the lung microbiome that as much as I can understand it (which is not much!) indicates that study of the lung microbiome & its relation to immunity is in its infancy compared to understanding of gut microbiome for ex. There is a short section on bronchiectasis.

Thanks, this is a fascinating article. I think the takeaway is that bacterial colonization doesn't occur in healthy lungs.
