Characterization of antibiotic resistance and host-microbiome interactions in the human upper respiratory tract during influenza infection [16s rRNA gene V4 region]

Antibiotic resistance genes expressed in the upper respiratory tract of patients infected with influenza viruses were associated with the microbial community and microbial activities. Interactions between the host systemic responses to influenza infection and ARG expression highlight the importance of antibiotic resistance in viral-bacterial co-infection. The microbial 16s rRNA gene V4 region was amplified and sequenced from the respiratory samples
