Abstract:of this research is that specific gut microbes could be analyzed to risk stratify COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, if additional studies support the contention that the gut microbiota play an important role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19, then modification of gut species (or their metabolites) may serve as a novel approach to mitigating severe disease. Indeed, multiple clinical trials are currently exploring the impact of probiotics on COVID-19
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
