The respiratory microbiota could contribute to determine the severity of pneumonia

The findings suggest that the interplay between the respiratory tract microbiota, the levels of bacterial pathogens and specific clinical interventions is a key factor in determining the outcome of bacterial…

Accelerated lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): a role for airway dysbiosis

Airway dysbiosis was associated with a lung function decline in COPD patients and it might contribute to this phenotype through metabolic interaction with host pathophysiological processes.

L. rhamnosus GG increases Bifidobacteria and reduces inflammation in children with cystic fibrosis, study says

A supplement of LGG would seem to favour the proliferation of Bifidobacterium and the improvement of clinical and immunological response to childhood cystic fibrosis.

COVID-19 may alter lung microbiota and reduce immunity, facilitating secondary infections

COVID-19 alters the local immunity of the lung in ways that weaken the body’s antimicrobial defense and facilitate the development of secondary infections.

Bacterial signatures in gut and airway may be biomarker for COVID-19 severity

The findings of a new research suggest that changes in the microbial composition of people with COVID-19 could be used as a biomarker of invasion of lung pathogens and dysbiosis…

Lung microbiota may influence outcome of bone marrow transplant

New research investigates the role of lung microbiota in pediatric patients with lung infection or injury after bone marrow transplantation.

Early viral encounters may affect airway microbiota, lead to recurrent respiratory infections

Early viral encounters are associated with disadvantageous immune and microbiota profiles, as well as recurrent respiratory infections. A new study published in Nature Microbiology claims.

How the human microbiota can influence respiratory health

Profiling the bacteria and viruses residing in the human body could help to diagnose different pathogens and develop new targeted interventions.

COVID-19 could have long-lasting impacts on gut microbiota composition

Targeted manipulation to promote the microbial diversity could be an important strategy to treat long COVID-19 and speed up recovery.

Bacterial, viral, and fungal interactions influence inflammation and exacerbation in bronchiectasis

The Integrative Microbiomics tool could potentially delineate subtypes of bronchiectasis and other heterogeneous respiratory diseases.
