Abstract

Asthma is known to be modified by airway microbes. Jaeger et al. use a murine-adapted bacterium to show that airway colonization evokes a Th17 response associated with increased SLPI, an antimicrobial peptide, and protection from lung inflammation. In people, SLPI was correlated with airway microbiota composition.
