Epidemiological characteristics and co-occurrence patterns of <i>Rothia</i> species and respiratory pathogens: from population surveillance to mechanistic insights
Background: is an oral commensal bacterium increasingly detected in the respiratory tract, and recent studies have highlighted changes in its abundance in respiratory infections. Objective: co-infection in respiratory infections. Design: species using customized TaqMan Array Card. Co-infection murine models were established. Results: exposure enhanced bacterial clearance. Conclusions: in respiratory infections, which may provide evidence for their roles in shaping disease outcomes.
