How to get TCGA microbiota data from TCGAbiolinks (R package)

As the title, I want to explore the relationship between microbiota and drug resistance events, however; I did not see any clear answer in the website. I am not familiar with the TCGAbiolinks package, I want to know if I can use it to download the 16S RNA, or any recommend package to get the microbiota data. Any one can take any example below? Thanks you!

Try human microbiome project for raw data and for transformed data (OTU), use HMP16sData package from bioconductor.

Thank for your comment! I want to explore my project based on the TCGA. If I try the HMP16sData package from bioconductor, there have any opportunity to connect the TCGA data with the HMP16sData? And how?
