Exploring the Hospital Microbiome by High-Resolution 16S rRNA Profiling

Exploring the Hospital Microbiome by High-Resolution 16S rRNA Profiling

The aim of this work was to analyze and compare the bacterial communities of 663 samples from a Brazilian hospital by using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. To increase taxonomic profiling and specificity of 16S-based identification, a strict sequence quality filtering process was ap...
