ABSTRACT
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has a significant health burden in children, older adults, and the immunocompromised. However, limited effort has been made to identify emergence of new RSV genotypes' frequency of infection and how the combination of nasopharyngeal microbiome and viral genotypes impact RSV disease outcomes. In an observational cohort designed to capture the first infant RSV infection, we employed multi-omics approaches to sequence 349 RSV complete genomes and matched nasopharyngeal microbiomes, during which the 2012/2013 season was dominated by RSV-A, whereas 2013 and 2014 was dominated by RSV-B. We found non-G-72nt-duplicated RSV-A strains were more frequent in male infants (P = 0.02), whereas G-72nt-duplicated genotypes (which is ON1 lineage) were seen equally in both males and females. DESeq2 testing of the nasal microbiome showed Haemophilus was significantly more abundant in infants with RSV-A infection compared to infants with RSV-B infection (adjusted P = 0.002). In addition, the broad microbial clustering of the abundant genera was significantly associated with infant sex (P = 0.03). Overall, we show sex differences in infection by RSV genotype and host nasopharyngeal microbiome, suggesting an interaction between host genetics, virus genotype, and associated nasopharyngeal microbiome. IMPORTANCE Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the leading causes of lower respiratory tract infections in young children and is responsible for high hospitalization rates and morbidity in infants and the elderly. To understand how the emergence of RSV viral genotypes and viral-respiratory microbiome interactions contribute to infection frequency and severity, we utilized an observational cohort designed to capture the first infant RSV infection we employed multi-omics approaches to sequence 349 RSV complete genomes and matched nasopharyngeal microbiomes. We found non-G-72nt-duplicated RSV-A genotypes were more frequent in male infants, whereas G-72nt-duplicated RSV-A strains (ON1 lineage) were seen equally in both males and females. Microbiome analysis show Haemophilus was significantly more abundant in infants with RSV-A compared to infants with RSV-B infection and the microbial clustering of the abundant genera was associated with infant sex. Overall, we show sex differences in RSV genotype-nasopharyngeal microbiome, suggesting an interaction host genetics-virus-microbiome interaction.
