Background Bacteria and viruses are major causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. Molecular components of these pathogens are recognized by pattern‐recognition receptors (PRRs) expressed by various cells in the airway, which leads to initiation of inflammatory processes...
