Internal quality control detection after metagenomic analysis of the respiratory samples selected. Distribution of normalized read counts (RPKM) for MS2 bacteriophage (internal quality control, IQC) depending on the proportion of viral reads for the 37 respiratory samples selected. MS2 RPKM was determined after subtracting of NTC MS2 RPKM. IQC was not detected for 4/37 samples (represented in red); among them 3 samples were tested positive with viral real-time PCR
