Summary

This study looks at how tiny organisms in the airways, like bacteria and viruses, relate to different types of asthma in adults. Researchers will collect samples from 140 adults with asthma to see if certain microbial patterns are linked to asthma severity and control. The goal is to better understand asthma and possibly find new ways to prevent or treat it in the future.
