Gut–Lung Axis: Microbial Crosstalk in Pediatric Respiratory Tract Infections

The gut microbiota is an important regulator for maintaining the organ microenvironment through effects on the gut-vital organs axis. Respiratory tract infections are one of the most widespread and harmful diseases, especially in the last 2 years. Many lines of evidence indicate that the gut microbi...
