Association of endopeptidases, involved in SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, with microbial aggravation in sputum of severe asthma
Association of endopeptidases, involved in SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, with microbial aggravation in sputum of severe asthma
High expression of such endopeptidases may be associated not only with a higher risk of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection but also with microbial imbalances in severe asthma. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate associations of sputum endopeptidases gene expression with metagenomics composition and whether they could be used to stratify asthma patients according to risk of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.
