Upper respiratory tract microbiome profiles in SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron infected patients exhibit variant specific patterns and robust prediction of disease groups

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the reason for many deaths globally. It is hypothesized that the upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiome shares similarities with lung microbiota and can modulate host immune responses to the virus. During the pandemic, several SARS-CoV-2 variants have emerged with different clinical outcomes and immune dysfunction, yet their association with changes in the...
