Taxonomic composition of bacterial communities in the nasal vestibule and the nasopharynx, sampled in summer and in winter. Genus level mean RA is shown for the 20 most abundant genera identified in the samples. The remaining 146 genera are grouped as “other”. Out of the six most abundant genera (83.30% of the sequences) in our sample, four (Corynebacterium, Moraxella, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus) were among the most abundant (RA > 1%) in adult participants in the HMP anterior nares sample [1] (adults) and five (Corynebacterium, Moraxella, Alloiococcus, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus) among infants in the Children Asthma Study nasopharynx sample [85].*Genus unclassified, family level presented. **Genus and family unclassified, order level presented
