Inflammatory phenotypes in severe asthma are associated with distinct airway microbiology

Utilizing a large, well-defined severe asthma cohort, we show that sputum neutrophilia, but not eosinophilia, was a strong predictor for airway microbiota diversity. These results highlight the divergence in pathophysiology based on asthma inflammatory phenotype.
