Meta-transcriptomic analysis reveals microbial differences in RSV mono and co-infected children, suggesting potential probiotic treatments.
Our study revealed that multi-infected RSV subjects revealed the highest difference in microbial composition of the nasal microbiota compared to single infected and control subjects. Whether the observed microbiome difference is related to increased disease severity is yet to be explored in future studies. Moreover, the potential use of Lactobacillus and Bacteroides as probiotics for the treatment and prevention of RSV infection should be explored in future research.
