Airway Microbiome in Asthma: Relationships to Asthma Phenotype and Inhaled Corticosteroid Treatment
There are new, very sensitive methods for detecting bacteria. These methods show that hundreds of millions of microbes (organisms that can only be seen with microscopes), especially bacteria, live in healthy people. The collection of different microbes found in a site is called a "microbiome." The investigators know that microbiomes of the skin, sinuses, mouth, gastro-intestinal tract, etc. differ from each other. The make-up of the microbiome - which bacteria are found in a site - may be necessary for good health. For example, the microbiome of the mouth is different in people with inflammation of the gums (periodontitis), and the microbiome of the bowel is different in people with inflammation of the intestinal tract (inflammatory bowel disease).
The purpose of this research study is to find out if the microbiome in the lungs is different in healthy people without asthma compared to people with asthma. This study will also find out if the microbiome of the lungs changes when people with asthma take a daily "controller" medication called an inhaled corticosteroid.

Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
Microbial Community Richness
Délai: baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment
|
Richness is the total number of different bacterial taxa detected in the sample.
|
baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment
|
|
Microbial Community Diversity
Délai: baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment
|
The Shannon diversity index is a type of entropy measure and is a function of the distribution of the total number of organisms across all of the species.
If S is the total number of species in the sample and p_i is the number of organisms in the i-th species divided by the total number of organisms, then Diversity = -Σ p_i log(p_i).
|
baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment
|
|
Microbial Community Evenness
Délai: baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment
|
Pielou's evenness index is a scaled measure of biodiversity and is equal to the observed Shannon diversity index divided by the maximum possible Shannon diversity index, which would occur if all of the species in the sample were equally abundant.
Evenness = D/log(S), where D is the Shannon Diversity index and log(S) is the maximum diversity of the sample.
