Abstract

Background

Asthma is heterogeneous, and airway dysbiosis is associated with clinical features in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma. Whether similar relationships exist among patients with severe asthma is unknown.

Objective

We sought to evaluate relationships between the bronchial microbiome and features of severe asthma.
