[1.2] [#Asthma] - colonization of the upper airways with Moraxella, which is a part of the family #Moraxellaceae, is more common among asthmatic patients than among healthy individuals. - The Moraxella-dominated upper airway microbiome was associated with an increased risk for exacerbation in asthmatic individuals than in healthy individuals. [1.3] [#Cancer] [#Alcohol Consumption] - Genus #Neisseria had extremely high ADH activity and produced significant amounts of #Acetaldehyde in vitro. - #Neisseria’s ability to produce #Acetaldehyde was more than 100-fold higher than that produced by #Streptococcus sp., Stomatococcus sp., or Moraxella sp. - #Neisseria can be a regional source of carcinogenic #Acetaldehyde and may thus play an essential role in alcohol-related carcinogenesis in humansReferences Notes[ ]
