Sputum microbiomic clustering in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease reveals a Haemophilus‐predominant subgroup
26 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Airway ecology is altered in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Anti-microbial interventions might have benefit in subgroups of airway disease. Differences in sputum microbial profiles at acute exacerbation of airways disease are reflected by the γProteobacteria:Firmicutes (γP:F) ratio. We hypothesized that sputum microbiomic clusters exist in stable airways disease, which can be...
