SRP319354 PRJNA728896 16S profiling of microbial communities present in surfaces of Intensive Care Units In this study we used the Oxford Nanopore's minION sequencing platform to investigate microbial profiles of different samples collected in Intensive Care Units of a hospital in Brazil. These samples have previously been sequenced with Illumina MiSeq (PRJNA541082), allowing comparisons between full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing using nanopore and 16S rRNA V4 region sequencing with Illumina for the same set of samples.
