Article Synopsis
- Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) cause over 2.8 million deaths annually, and understanding the carriage of bacterial and viral pathogens is essential for infection prevention.
- Samples were collected from individuals at two points in time to analyze the presence of various respiratory pathogens using culture and PCR methods.
- Carriage patterns showed significant variations based on age, recent RTI history, and species interactions, revealing complex ecological dynamics that influence microbial community assembly in the respiratory tract.
