Project description

Airway diseases such as chronic sinus inflammation and asthma are frequent, the cause of severe sinusitis and asthma is unknown. Staphylococcus aureus could be essential in the development of severe airway disease by producing certain toxins, which create a strong inflammation. We hypothesize that this new mechanism is involved in asthma and sinusitis from early childhood to adult life.
