Gut microbiota relationships to lung function and adult asthma phenotype: a pilot study

Abstract excerpt

Introduction Despite strong evidence that maturation patterns of the gut microbiome in early life influence the risk for childhood asthma, very little is known about gut microbiota patterns in adults with established asthma, and of greater interest relationships to phenotypic features that characterise asthma heterogeneity. Methods Fifty-eight faecal samples from 32 adults with (n=24) and without (n=8) asthma...
