CRISPR arrays as high-resolution markers to track microbial transmission during influenza infection

Abstract Background Disruption of the microbial community in the respiratory tract due to infections, like influenza, could impact transmission of bacterial pathogens. Using samples from a household study, we determined whether metagenomic-type analyses of the microbiome provide the resolution neces...
