Several studies have found significant associations between asthma and microbiome. However, it is challenging to obtain-sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage samples from pediatric patients. Thus, we used voided urine to show that urine microbe-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in asthma are an available source for clinical research.
