Background Molecular microbiological analysis of airway samples in asthma has
demonstrated an altered microbiome in comparison to healthy controls. Such changes may …

Background Asthma pathophysiology and treatment responsiveness are predicted by
inflammatory phenotype. However, the relationship between airway microbiology and …

Background Asthma is heterogeneous, and airway dysbiosis is associated with clinical
features in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma. Whether similar relationships exist among …

Background Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by distinct phenotypes with
associated microbial dysbiosis. Objectives Our aim was to identify severe asthma …

Background Asthmatic patients have higher microbiome diversity and an altered
composition, with more Proteobacteria and less Bacteroidetes compared with healthy …

Background The lung has a diverse microbiome that is modest in biomass. This microbiome
differs in asthmatic patients compared with control subjects, but the effects of clinical …

Background Altered composition of airway microbiota has been reported in subjects
suffering from asthma but its relation to eosinophilic phenotype is unclear. Objective To …

Background Compositional differences in the bronchial bacterial microbiota have been
associated with asthma, but it remains unclear whether the findings are attributable to …

Background The links between microbial environmental exposures and asthma are well
documented, but no study has combined deep sequencing results from pulmonary and …

Background The lower airways harbor a community of bacterial species which is altered in
asthma. Objectives We examined whether the lower airway microbiota were related to …
