[Analysis of nasal flora composition in children with perennial allergic rhinitis].

Objective:This paper focuses on the diversity of nasal microbiota in children with perennial allergic rhinitis and the differences in species composition, which may be used in the future as a biomarker for disease progression and treatment. Methods:A total of 65 subjects were enrolled, including 35 perennial AR patients（AR group） and a Control group（CG group） of 30 children without AR. Collect basic information and examination reports of nasal swabs. 16S-rDNA high-throughput sequencing technology was used to detect the microbial sequence in nasal swabs, and the composition and difference of microbial diversity in each group were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. Results:The Simpson and Shannon index of the alpha diversity in the AR group had a significantly increase compared to the CG group. Beta diversity was not different between the groups. Staphylococcus（Firmicutes） of the AR group were significantly higher than that of the CG group, but Moraxella is lower than that of the CG group. Conclusion:Nasal microbial diversity and species composition of children with allergic rhinitis differ from those of healthy children, and how the differential microorganisms interact with the host and participate in immune regulation and inflammatory response requires further study.
