Nasopharyngeal microbiome composition and its clinical correlates in children hospitalized with severe pneumonia in East Africa

2025-08-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Pneumonia remains the leading cause of infectious mortality in children under five, with the highest burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Dysbiosis in nasopharyngeal (NP) microbiota may influence pneumonia susceptibility and progression, but little is known about its composition or clinical relevance in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We characterized the NP microbiota of children hospitali...
