Abstract:Corynebacteriumspecies are globally ubiquitous in human nasal microbiota across the lifespan. Moreover, nasal microbiota profiles typified by higher relative abundances ofCorynebacteriumare often positively associated with health. Among the most common human nasalCorynebacteriumspecies areC. propinquum,C. pseudodiphtheriticum,C. accolens, andC. tuberculostearicum. Based on the prevalence of these species, at least two likely coexist in the nasal microbiota of 82% of adults. To gain insight into the functions o… Show more
