Microbial and host biomarkers for endotyping critically ill patients
Brief description of study
We will prospectively collect airway, stool and blood samples on 1000 subjects admitted to the ICU with diagnosis of sepsis, acute respiratory distress symdrome (ARDS) or pneumonia. We will evaluate airway/gut microbial signatures associated with local (lower airway) and systemic (blood) immune tone. We will then study whether airway/gut microbial signatures are associated with clinical outcomes (Aim 1) and dysbiotic signatures are associated with host immune endotypes (Aim 2).
