Microbial DNA extraction of high-host content and low biomass samples: Optimized protocol for nasopharynx metagenomic studies
21 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Low microbial biomass and high human DNA content in nasopharyngeal aspirate samples hinder comprehensive characterization of microbiota and resistome. We obtained samples from premature infants, a group with increased risk of developing respiratory disorders and infections, and consequently frequent exposure to antibiotics. Our aim was to devise an optimal protocol for handling nasopharyngeal...
