Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Studies of community function and composition are necessary to identify the attributes of organisms associated with promoting mucosal health. • Ecological principles and theory can be leveraged to improve the design of self-sustaining communities of therapeutic organisms. • The sinus mucosal microbiome protects the epithelial surface from pathogen invasion. • Approaches to modulate sinus and gastrointestinal mucosal microbiota represent a powerful approach to treating disease.
