Reduced olfactory performance is associated with changed microbial diversity, oralization and accumulation of dead biomaterial in the nasal olfactory area

This study investigates the correspondence of the human microbiome and olfactory performance in adult participants. It includes human nasal and stool samples that were used for amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA gene and ITS region; MiSeq, paired end) as well as metatranscriptomic analyses (Illumina NovaSeq; paired end).

本研究探讨了成年受试者人类微生物组与嗅觉功能的相关性。本研究纳入人类鼻腔与粪便样本，用于扩增子测序（16S核糖体RNA基因与ITS区间；MiSeq平台，双端测序）及宏转录组分析（Illumina NovaSeq平台，双端测序）。
