Acute Respiratory Viruses are Linked  to  Bacterial Airways Infection  and  Microbial Dysbiosis Confirmed  by Culture,  16S qPCR and  16S rRNA Sequencing
Respiratory viruses are increasingly seen as cofactors in bacterial airways infection and may be lead to bacterial pneumonia. This study addressed their role in hospitalised patients tested for airways infection by culture, 16S qPCR and 16S rRNA whole operon sequencing (16S WOS). The potential for using 16S qPCR and 16S WOS was also addressed.
