Exploring the Role of Microbiomes in Upper Respiratory Tract Infections and Chronic Sinusitis

Abstract

The human microbiome plays a crucial role in the overall health of the respiratory tract,

influencing susceptibility to various infections, including upper respiratory tract infections

(URIs) and chronic sinusitis. This research paper explores the role of microbiomes in these

conditions by examining their composition, function, and how microbial imbalances

contribute to disease pathogenesis. Specifically, the paper focuses on how changes in the

nasal, throat, and sinus microbiota can lead to infection and chronic inflammation.

Additionally, it discusses the potential of microbiome-based therapies in managing and

preventing URIs and chronic sinusitis.
