Gut microbiota of adults with asthma is broadly similar to non-asthmatics in a large population with varied ethnic origins

Bacterial gut communities might predispose children to develop asthma. Yet, little is known about the role of these micro-organisms in adult asthmatics. We aimed to profile the relationship between fecal microbiota and asthma in a large-scale, ethnically diverse, observational cohort of adults. Feca...
