Benchmarking laboratory processes to characterise low-biomass respiratory microbiota
Abstract The low biomass of respiratory samples makes it difficult to accurately characterise the microbial community composition. PCR conditions and contaminating microbial DNA can alter the biological profile. The objective of this study was to benchmark the currently available laboratory protocol...
