Microbiosthme: Dynamics of Upper and Lower Airway Respiratory Microbiomes Associated With Severe Infant Asthma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this project is to establish the nature of potential dysbiosis, the interrelation of the different microbiomes of the respiratory tract, and the potential role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of severe asthma in infants, and its evolution under treatment. The aim of exploring and understanding these data is to ultimately improve patient care and discover new therapeutic targets.
Indeed, modification of the microbiota was a therapeutic target even before it was discovered, and its immunomodulatory properties reinforce this position.
The aim is to open up prospects for therapeutic studies, such as the use of azithromycin as an immunomodulator in infant asthma, the results of which are discordant.
