This project contains 16S rRNA gene sequencing data from the nasopharyngeal samples of children with Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (n=27), children with symptomatic upper viral respiratory infections
IntroductionThe human respiratory tract is considered to be a polymicrobial niche, and an imbalance in the microorganism composition is normally associated with several respiratory diseases. In additi
This study was conducted to assess the difference of oropharyngeal microbiome during acute respiratory viral infection using whole-genome shotgun metagenomic sequencing in infants and children.
Introduction: The airway microbiota has been linked to specific paediatric respiratory diseases, but studies are often small. It remains unclear whether particular bacteria are associated with a given
