Abstract
High-throughput untargeted metagenome sequencing provides information about the composition of the microbial communities of viruses, bacteria, archaea and unicellular eukaryotes in the habitat of interest. This review outlines the sampling, processing, sequencing and bioinformatic analysis of secretions of the respiratory tract and summarizes our current knowledge of the upper and lower human airways metagenome in health and disease.Entities:
