About this trial

COPD and non-COPD patients will be included in the study after collection of their non-objection. The exhalation will be collected to study the microbiological diversity of human exhalations.

a second collection for the year +1 will be made, at the same time (between October and March).

Case-control

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • collection of human exhalation

    Other intervention

    the collection of the exhalation will be carried out with a non-invasive device manufactured by a Chinese company. The collection of exhalation consists of the subject inhaling through the nose and exhaling gently through the mouth through a plastic straw for a time set at 5 min in the device

Treatment groups

240 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)1 intervention
Group B: NO-Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease1 intervention
