Enrichment of human nasopharyngeal bacteriome with bacteria from dust after short-term exposure to indoor environment: a pilot study

Table 1 Correlations of the representation of bacterial genera between indoor dust samples and nasopharyngeal swabs

Sampling	Type of samples	Genus	r_S	p	q
Morning	Np vs. DH	Sphingomonas	0.588	0.005	0.284
Morning	Np vs. DH	Porphyromonas	0.532	0.012	0.353
Afternoon	Np vs. DW	Bacillus	0.578	0.007	0.357
		Eremococcus	0.519	0.017	0.357
		Subdoligranulum	0.512	0.019	0.357
		Clostridium sensu stricto 1	0.506	0.02	0.357
		Granulicatella	0.474	0.031	0.423
		Dolosigranulum	0.444	0.045	0.471
		Enterobacter/Klebsiella	0.535	0.014	0.357
		Neisseriaceae uncultured	0.471	0.032	0.423

Samples were collected from 21 participants in the morning at their households and in the afternoon at their workplaces (after an 8 h exposure to workplace environment; only statistically significant bacterial genera are listed)
Np nasopharyngeal swab, DH dust samples collected at households, DW dust samples collected at workplaces. Klebsiella and Enterobacter cannot be distinguished based on bioinformatics processing due to their similar genetic sequences
