Endocrine disrupters--potential modulators of the immune system and allergic response.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Airway ecology is altered in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Anti-microbial interventions might have benefit in subgroups of airway disease. Differences in sputum microbial profiles at acute exacerbation of airways disease are reflected by the γProteobacteria:Firmicutes (γP:F) ratio....
