The influence of spaceflight on the astronaut salivary microbiome and the search for a microbiome biomarker for viral reactivation
20 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spaceflight impacts astronauts in many ways but little is known on how spaceflight affects the salivary microbiome and the consequences of these changes on astronaut health, such as viral reactivation. In order to understand this, the salivary microbiome was analyzed with 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, and saliva viral titers were analyzed with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with...
