Profiling of intestinal microbiota in patients infected with respiratory influenza a and b viruses by Al Khatib, Hebah A.

“…Overall, infected patients experienced an increased abundance of Bacteroidetes and a corresponding decrease in Firmicutes. Differential abundance testing illustrated that differences in gut microbiota composition were influenza type-dependent, identifying ten differentially abun-dant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) between influenza A-and influenza B-infected patients. …”
