Airway metagenomes from the BWPR cohort – second dataset
The Breathing Well Pneumonia Research (BWPR) cohort is a longitudinal study designed to track episodes of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in relatively healthy older adults. The second dataset comprises 900 respiratory samples, including 594 oropharyngeal metagenomes (474 bulk and 120 virus-like particle (VLP)-based) and 306 induced sputum metagenomes (186 bulk and 120 VLP-based), collected from participants at healthy baseline and during ARTI episodes.
