Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is caused by a1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) genetic susceptibility and exacerbated by infection. The current pilot study aimed at studying the combined effect of AATD and bacterial loads on the efficacy of COPD conventional pharmacotherapy. Fifty-nine subjects (29 controls and 30 COPD patients) were tested for genetic AATD and respiratory function. The bacterial loads were determined to the patients’ group who were then given a long acting beta-agonist and corticosteroid inhaler for 6 months.
