Nasal microbiota in asthmatic patients are associated with markers of systemic and bronchial inflammation. a Frequency distribution of Corynebacterium dominant communities in NB samples was lower in AAs (n = 18) compared to HC (n = 6) subjects (Fisher’s exact test). b The relative abundance of Corynebacterium in NB samples in AAs correlated negatively with a number of inflammatory markers of atopic asthma (Spearman correlation). c The relative abundance of Moraxella in NB samples in AAs correlated positively with a number of inflammatory markers of atopic asthma (Spearman correlation)
