Human adenovirus(ADV) belongs to the adenoviridae family, mammalian adenovirus genus, which is a double-stranded DNA virus without an envelope, mainly infects human respiratory tract, digestive tract and urogenital tract. The main ADV related to respiratory diseases is ADV-B Group (ADV-3, 7, 11, 14, 16, 21, 50, 55), ADV-C Group (ADV-1,2,5,6) and ADV-E group (ADV-4).

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) belongs to Pneumovirus of Paramyxoviridae with only one serotype, which is a single stranded negative-strand RNA virus with an envelope. RSV infection mainly causes bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants under 6 months of age and upper respiratory tract infections such as rhinitis and colds in older children and adults.
Group A streptococci, STREP A, is called streptococcus pyogenes, which belongs to β hemolytic streptococcus. Common mode of transmission is spread through the respiratory tract.
