Methodological issues in airway microbiome studies [PDF]
Background Studies on the lung microbiome face unique methodological challenges tied to the low bacterial load of acquired samples and the increased susceptibility to bacterial DNA contamination. Contamination may be introduced from i) the upper airways during sampling and ii) reagents, kits and the general laboratory environment during laboratory ...

The airway fungal microbiome in asthma [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundFungal involvement in asthma is associated with severe disease. The full spectrum of fungal species in asthma is not well described and is derived largely from insensitive culture techniques.ObjectivesTo use high‐throughput sequencing to describe the airway mycobiota in asthmatics with and without fungal sensitization and healthy ...

Microbiome and disease in the upper airway [PDF]
Purpose of review Microbiome refers to the genetic potential of resident microorganisms that inhabit a given niche. The exact role of the microbiome and its relation to chronic disease processes remains largely unknown, although various associations have been observed. We reviewed current literature investigating the microbiome

Role of airway epithelial cell miRNAs in asthma
The airway epithelial cells and overlying layer of mucus are the first point of contact for particles entering the lung. The severity of environmental contributions to pulmonary disease initiation, progression, and exacerbation is largely determined by ...

Upper respiratory tract microbiota is associated with small airway function and asthma severity
Background Characteristics of airway microbiota might influence asthma status or asthma phenotype. Identifying the airway microbiome can help to investigate its role in the development of asthma phenotypes or small airway function.

Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC
Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3

The role of the respiratory microbiome in asthma
Asthma is a common airways disease and the human microbiome plays an increasingly recognised role in asthma pathogenesis. Furthermore, the respiratory microbiome varies with asthma phenotype, endotype and disease severity.

Commensal Bacteria in the Cystic Fibrosis Airway Microbiome Reduce P. aeruginosa Induced Inflammation. [PDF]
Es gibt keine bekannte Lungenerkrankung, die eine so frühe, chronische und intensive Entzündungsreaktion hervorruft, wie sie in den Atemwegen von Patienten mit Mukoviszidose (CF) auftritt.

Environmental shaping of the bacterial and fungal community in infant bed dust and correlations with the airway microbiota [PDF]
From early life, children are exposed to a multitude of environmental exposures, which may be of crucial importance for healthy development. Here, the environmental microbiota may be of particular interest as it represents the interface between ...
