The respiratory microbiota significantly influence the onset and progression of asthma, as underscored by recent studies revealing discernible differences between asthma patients and healthy individuals. This review delves into the relationship between respiratory microbiota and asthma, with a particular emphasis on possible therapeutic targets and emerging treatments. Existing research is thoroughly synthesized, illuminating the association between microbial communities and the incidence of asthma. In addition to antibiotic therapy, attention is directed towards modulating the immune balance within the respiratory microbiota as a promising therapeutic approach. Specifically, the role of immunomodulators targeting key immune pathways, such as interleukins and cytokines implicated in asthma pathogenesis, is examined. Furthermore, the regulation of the gut-lung axis is explored, highlighting the significance of the gut microbiota in shaping systemic immune responses and respiratory health. Moreover, the potential of immune cell modulation as a therapeutic avenue is explored, focusing on targeting specific immune cell populations involved in asthma pathophysiology. Future research directions and challenges are also addressed, underscoring the need for a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between respiratory microbiota and the pathogenesis of asthma.

The mucosal surfaces of the body are the most vulnerable points for infection because they are lined by single or multiple layers of very active epithelial cells. The main protector of these cells is the mucus system generated by the specialized goblet cells secreting its main components, the gel-forming mucins. The organization of the mucus varies from an attached mucus that is impenetrable to bacteria in the large intestine to a nonattached, more penetrable mucus in the small intestine and airways.

Background: Although previous studies have reported the dysregulation of respiratory tract microbiota in infectious diseases, insufficient data exist regarding respiratory microbiota imbalances in the lower respiratory tracts of children with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). In this study, we assessed the value of mNGS in the pathogen diagnosis and microbiome analysis of PTB patients using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples.
Methods: A total of 64 participants, comprising 43 pediatric PTB and 21 pediatric pneumonia patients were recruited in the present study.

Emerging research suggests that the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in stress. We assess stress-microbiome associations in two samples of healthy adults across three stress domains (perceived stress, stressful life events, and biological stress /Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia; RSA). Study 1 (n = 62; mean-age = 37.

Thermophilic microbial communities growing in low-oxygen environments often contain early-evolved archaea and bacteria, which hold clues regarding mechanisms of cellular respiration relevant to early life. Here, we conducted replicate metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, microscopic, and geochemical analyses on two hyperthermophilic (82-84 °C) filamentous microbial communities (Conch and Octopus Springs, Yellowstone National Park, WY) to understand the role of oxygen, sulfur, and arsenic in energy conservation and community composition. We report that hyperthermophiles within the Aquificota (Thermocrinis), Pyropristinus (Caldipriscus), and Thermoproteota (Pyrobaculum) are abundant in both communities; however, higher oxygen results in a greater diversity of aerobic heterotrophs.

Introduction And Objective: Elimination irrigation therapy has been proposed as a potential treatment for upper respiratory tract infections, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, due to its antiviral properties and mechanical cleansing effects. Additionally, a combination of mineral water with antibiotic therapy has shownto be effective in improving the course clinical infection and positively impact the immune system, potentially enhancing the normal state of microbiota state. The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of elimination-irrigation therapy using a combination of mineral water and ciprofloxacin on the interaction form of individual microbiota species of the upper respiratory tract mucous membrane.
