Percentage of children within taxa-driven clusters that have associated clinical characteristics and future exacerbations during 12–18-month follow-up. As per Abdel-Aziz and colleagues (9), preschool- and school-age children with wheezing or asthma were stratified on the basis of their oropharyngeal microbial profiles dominated by specific taxa. Lung function test: FEV1 percent predicted after salbutamol; value listed represents the median.
