Influenza A virus modulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection using ex vivo transcriptomics in a human primary lung epithelial cell

Deep sequencing of cDNA from Streptococcus pneumoniae EF3030 bacteria and normalized human broncial epithelial cells (nHBEC), alone, together, and after coincubation with Influenza A virus pH1N1. Total RNA was isolated from EF3030 and nHBEC, alone and after co-culture with pH1N1 over time. Ribosomal RNA was depleted and the remaining RNA was reverse-transcribed into a cDNA library for Illumina sequencing. Reads were mapped to the EF3030,and the human genome.
