Microbiome of the Unified Airway

2020
The human microbiome influences airway mucosa in several ways, including downregulating inflammation or activating inflammatory cytokines that contribute to overall health or disease. Conversely, living conditions and common treatments used in airway diseases influence shifts in the microbiome. Our understanding of the role of the microbiome in complex

Characteristics of the Airway Microbiome of Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2020
Microbiota as an integral component of human body is actively investigated, including by massively parallel sequencing. However, microbiomes of lungs and sinuses have become the object of scientific attention only in the last decade. For patients with cystic fibrosis, monitoring the state of respiratory tract microorganisms is essential for maintaining

The airway microbiome in cystic fibrosis and implications for treatment

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2011
Lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) results from chronic airway infection and inflammation leading to progressive bronchiectasis and respiratory failure. Bacterial pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Burkholderia cepacia, are known contributors.

[Research progress of airway microbiome and airway immune response in asthma].

Zhonghua jie he he hu xi za zhi = Zhonghua jiehe he huxi zazhi = Chinese journal of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases, 2022
Bronchial asthma (asthma) is one of the most common chronic airway diseases, with more than 300 million people worldwide suffering from this disease. In recent years, studies have shown that compared with healthy people, the airway microecological structure and relative abundance of various flora of asthmatic patients have changed, and are related to ...

A study to define the microbiome of the asthmatic airway

Clinical Problems Asthma, 2017
Background: Asthma is generally well controlled but there is a subpopulation that remains uncontrolled. Recent research has shown that the airway is no longer sterile and has its own microbiome. The aim of our study was to characterise the lower airway microbiota in a cohort of well-defined asthmatics of varying disease severity and by doing so ...

Repeated bronchoscopy examination of the airway microbiome

Molecular pathology and funct. genomics, 2019
Background: Airway microbiota potentially plays a role in obstructive lung diseases. The stability of the lower airways is still unknown. Methods: 21 healthy controls and 41 patients with obstructive lung disease completed two volunteer bronchoscopies. Median days between the two bronchoscopies were 140 in the disease group and 150 in the controls. We

Altered Airway Microbiome In Severe Asthma

A19. NOVEL INSIGHTS AND NOVEL APPROACHES: LATE BREAKING ABSTRACTS, 2012
Rationale: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease. Microbial colonization of the respiratory tract may have a role in the chronic inflammatory process. Methods : We recruited 23 non-smoking patients with stable asthma and 9 healthy subjects in Guangzhou, and obtained induced sputum samples for 16S ribosomal RNA analysis.

Airway Microbiome in Respiratory Diseases

IDOSR JOURNAL OF APPLIED SCIENCES
The airway microbiome is a dynamic and diverse ecosystem of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that contributes critically to respiratory health and disease. In health, microbial communities maintain homeostasis through interactions with epithelial barriers and host immune responses.
