To investigate whether Candida gut dysbiosis might be observed in humans with difficult to control asthma, 24 patients with asthma were recruited. There was no significant association between either antibiotic (n = 14; 58%) or systemic glucocorticoid (n = 16; 67%) use in the past year and Candida-to-bacteria DNA in stools. Patients with severe asthma exacerbation (defined as any asthma-related emergency department visit or hospitalization) in the past year (n = 8; 33%) had a higher median Candida-to-bacteria DNA ratio in stools
