Nasopharyngeal microbiota in hospitalized children with Bordetella pertussis and Rhinovirus infection

Abstract Despite great advances in describing Bordetella pertussis infection, the role of the host microbiota in pertussis pathogenesis remains unexplored. Indeed, the microbiota plays important role in defending against bacterial and viral respiratory infections. We investigated the nasopharyngeal...
