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.

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.

Resident bacteria might contribute to opportunistic infections of the respiratory tract

The manipulation of microbiota could improve the outcomes of infections in the respiratory tract cause by opportunistic pathogens.

The role of the microbiota in pneumonia: friend or foe?

A better understanding of the distribution and composition of airway microbiota could help to protect people against pneumonia.

How harmful bacteria can thrive in the lungs

Changes in one of the P. aeruginosa’s environmental sensing systems allow it to adapt to the environment of the lungs, causing chronic infections.

Taking vitamin D and omega-3 during pregnancy could change the infant airway microbiota

A study suggests that the effects of dietary interventions during pregnancy are mediated by different factors, including the infant airway microbiota.

Nose-dwelling bacterium contributes to a healthy nasal microbiota

Staphylococcus epidermidis contributes to a healthy nasal microbiota, likely by stimulating the production of antimicrobial molecules in the nose.

The microbes in our nose change with the seasons

The fungi and bacteria that inhabit our nose and the areas around it change with the seasons, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports.
