The Virome of the Human Respiratory Tract	2016-12-10		.txt	text/plain	3901	215	46	Sensitive, culture-independent molecular assays (polymerase chain reaction and high-throughput sequencing) reveal that in addition to common viruses that cause acute, symptomatic infections the virome also includes viruses that do not cause clinical symptoms, have unknown pathogenic effect, or cause symptoms but are not among the most common viral respiratory tract pathogens. However, as characterization of the respiratory tract virome using molecular methods is a relatively new area of exploration, these studies can be useful in order to determine if viruses beyond the common, known respiratory pathogens are detected. In a study of 71 patients, viruses were assessed in nasal swabs using a panel of targeted PCR assays for common respiratory pathogens. Another study tested 89 nasopharyngeal swabs from adults with upper respiratory tract infections using reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assays for a series of common viruses, including human rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, influenza viruses and others, and by RNA sequencing.	./cache/cord-354035-i3sl2r0k.txt	./txt/cord-354035-i3sl2r0k.txt
