Description
David Pinzauti and colleagues study the microbes living in the human nose in this two thousand twenty-four paper from Malta. The nose hosts a community of microbes that guards respiratory health. Viruses can disturb that balance, letting harmful species grow and raising the risk of added bacterial infection. The team compared nasal samples from people with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection during the pandemic.
They sequenced swabs from ninety-four uninfected and eighty-five infected patients. The method read the full length of a key bacterial gene. Infected patients showed shifts in the mix of nasal microbes. Their communities also trended toward lower richness and evenness. The study adds detail on how this virus reshapes the nose's microbial guard.
