Comparing the anterior nare bacterial community of two discrete human populations using <scp>I</scp> llumina amplicon sequencing
19 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
The anterior nares are an important reservoir for opportunistic pathogens and commensal microorganisms. A barcoded Illumina paired-end sequencing method targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA V1-2 hypervariable region was developed to compare the bacterial diversity of the anterior nares across distinct human populations (volunteers from Germany vs a Babongo Pygmy tribe, Africa). Of the 251 phylotypes detected, 231...
