Bacterial infection in COPD

According to the British hypothesis proposed that recurrent bronchial infections were the reason that some smokers developed airflow obstruction while others did not.

Chronic bronchitis, respiratory infections and sputum bacterial counts; have been shown to be related to decline in lung function in COPD. The role of chronic bronchitis remains controversial though.
