Development of respiratory tract infections is determined by interactions between viruses, bacteria, and the host innate immune response. We investigated the impact of natural rhinovirus infection on nasopharyngeal bacterial colonization in infants with or without gene polymorphisms of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3 and 4.
