Abstract
In a recent study published in Cell, Odendaal et al. characterized the human upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiota by using samples from 3160 Dutch individuals.1 They presented an atlas of the URT microbiota and were able to define associations with host and environmental factors that shape the respective ecological niches (saliva, oropharynx and nasopharynx).
