[How does COVID-19 affect intestinal microbiota?]


ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a bidirectional interaction between the intestines and lungs, the so-called lung-intestinal axis.

Method

The review article reports on studies that deal with a possible influence of the intestinal microbiota on the immune response to a SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Results and conclusions

Studies have shown that COVID-19 is accompanied by dysbiosis that persists even after successful virus conversion (negative PCR). One study found that the severity of COVID-19 is associated with the intestinal microbiota. A dysbiosis could thus favor the so-called cytokine storm. There is indication that pre- and probiotics could boost the immune response in both the guts and lungs.
