Nasal microbiome and phageome profiles are associated with prospective respiratory viral infection risk in school-age children

Key Points

• Respiratory viral infection risk is associated with distinct nasal microbiome profiles in children.
• The analysis indicates a notable relationship between the phageome and respiratory viral infections, highlighting its relevance.
• Assessment across various nasal microbiome profiles was conducted to evaluate infection susceptibility based on microbiome characteristics.
• Understanding the role of the microbiome could lead to innovative prevention strategies for respiratory infections, warranting further research.
