Relationship of Airway Microbiota, Endotype and Phenotype in Adult Asthma
Increasing evidence supports that the respiratory microbiota, including viral and bacterial microorganisms, play important roles in respiratory health and disease. Microbial patterns in airways may induce distinctive endotypes of asthma. Previous studies suggest host-microbiota interactions in children may account for the heterogeneity of endotypes and clinical presentations. However, information on …
