Differential nasopharyngeal microbiota patterns: A comparative study of pneumococcal pneumonia, COVID-19, and healthy adults
The nasopharyngeal microbiota differs significantly in adults with pneumococcal pneumonia compared to those with COVID-19 pneumonia and healthy controls. These associations highlight the potential relevance of specific bacterial genera in disease susceptibility. A deeper understanding of healthy nasopharyngeal microbiota profiles could contribute to future strategies for the prevention and management of respiratory infections.
