Abstract Respiratory infections represent a significant risk for healthcare workers (HCWs), particularly during viral outbreaks. This study applied metagenomic sequencing to characterize microbial communities and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in nasopharyngeal swabs from HCWs presenting respiratory symptoms. Samples from 161 HCWs collected at a tertiary hospital in 2020–2021 were screened using FilmArray; negative samples were analyzed by metagenomic sequencing.
