Microbial analysis by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence in patients with infective endocarditis

Infective endocarditis is caused by bacteria entering the bloodstream and causing an infection of the heart. It is known that bacteria of oral origin can be detected in blood due to oral bleeding. The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between oral bacteria and infective endocarditis using NGS-based microflora analysis. The data presented here are fastq files of bacterial flora analysis by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of heart valve, saliva, and blood-derived samples collected from patients with infective endocarditis. All analysis data are from amplification of the 16S rDNA region for DNA derived from bacteria extracted from the samples.
