Comparing the salivar microbiota composition between healthy subjects and HIV patients
Those FASTQ are used in a paper where are primarily compared the variations in the oral microbiota composition between HIV patients and healthy controls (HC). In addition, it is performed a longitudinal evaluation of the oral-gut microbiota-immunity axis from HIV-infected patients before starting ART (T0) and after reaching virological suppression (T24 weeks). Overall design: Total DNA was extracted from the saliva of the subjects, amplified to collect amplicons of variable V3–V4 regions (primers 341F and 805R) of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene and sequenced with MiSeq (2x300bp) Illumina platform.
