- Abstract
For the 57 saliva samples, the relative abundance of phylum Actinobacteria was significantly decreased in COVID-19 patients with asthma compared with those without preexisting asthma (adjusted I p i -value = 0.02, Figure 1D). Previous studies have shown that asthma patients harbor airway microbial dysbiosis featuring an increase in pathogenic bacteria.10 We found oral I Neisseria i was more abundant in the asthma group compared with non-asthma group during SARS-CoV-2 infection. So far, our understanding of the associations between respiratory infections and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the context of asthma is limited.
