| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Results: In the nasopharynx, coexisting with causative pathogens and commensal consist bacterial flora, recentaly nominated as nasopharyneal microbiota. The microbiome in the nasopharynx will be dramatically changed during the course of antimicrobial treatments, vaccination and acute phase of upper respiratory inflammation.
Conclusion: Our previous study revealed the dramatic changes in the nasopharyngeal pneumococcal density during the course of upper respiratory infections. In this study, despite an abundance of data on incidence, prevalence and density of potential pathogens in NP microbiota of children and adults, the detailed composition of the NP microbial community, both during health and disease have not been studied. We, therefore, will discuss microbita in the nasopharynx for better understanding the change of nasopharyngeal bacterial flora during various infectious situations.
