Figure 1.

Bacterial genera composition in the nasopharynx of children and adults. Bacterial genera were filtered by a minimum of 0.01% relative abundance in at least 10% of samples within each study group (children in (A) and adults in (B)). Only bacterial genera with a mean abundance > 1% are shown in the table ranked from most to least abundant in each group. Same genera are properly identified by color coding as shown in the legend and kept consistent in the two groups. Bacterial genera whose mean relative abundance was <1% are grouped into “others”.
