Association between semi-quantitative microbial load and respiratory symptoms among Thai military recruits: a prospective cohort study	2018-09-14		.txt	text/plain	4506	224	38	In this study, we assessed whether semi-quantitative microbial load availab from real-time PCR assays can differentiate between symptomatic and asymptomatic states for common respiratory agents in a cohort of basic military trainees at two Royal Thai Army barracks. Our analysis also indicated a significantly lower average rhinovirus load in non-acute samples collected either at the start or at the end of the training period compared to acute samples (p-values < 0.05) ( Table 4 ). Ct-value distribution for selected a bacteria and b viruses detected in non-acute samples collected at the start or end of the training period (orange bars) or acute samples from individuals experiencing an upper respiratory tract infection during follow-up (blue bars). Description of data: Semi-quantitative microbial load in non-acute and acute throat and nasal swab samples from Thai Army recruits, determined using a commercial multiplex real-time PCR assay comprising 33 bacterial, viral and fungal targets; includes names, labels, and coding for individual variables.	./cache/cord-294062-3esrg1jw.txt	./txt/cord-294062-3esrg1jw.txt
