Metagenomic analysis of the nasopharyngeal microbiomes and resistomes in asthma, COVID-19 infected, and healthy individuals
The study reveals distinct bacterial community compositions in healthy individuals and individuals with asthma. <i>Pseudomonadales</i>, particularly <i>Pseudomonas</i> species, contribute to the nasopharyngeal resistome. No association was found between nasopharyngeal resistome profiles and asthma development. Future research may explore airway microbial functions' influence on asthma development.
