The oral bacteriomes of patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma differ from that of healthy controls.

ABSTRACT: Allergic rhinitis and asthma are two of the most common chronic respiratory diseases in developed countries and have become a major public health concern. Substantial evidence has suggested a strong link between respiratory allergy and upper airway dysbacteriosis, but the role of the oral bacteriota is still poorly understood. Here we used 16S rRNA massive parallel sequencing to characterize the oral bacteriome of 344 individuals with allergic rhinitis (AR), allergic rhinitis with asthma (ARAS), asthma (AS) and healthy controls (CT). Four of the most abundant (>2%) phyla (Actinobacteriota, Firmicutes, Fusobacteriota, and Proteobacteria) and 10 of the dominant genera (Actinomyces, Fusobacterium, Gemella, Haemophilus, Leptotrichia, Neisseria, Porphyromonas, Prevotella, Streptococcus,
