Abstract:Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, extensive research has been conducted on SARS-COV-2 to elucidate its genome, prognosis, and possible treatments. However, few looked at the microbial markers that could be explored in infected patients and that could predict possible disease severity. The aim of this study is to compare the nasopharyngeal microbiota of healthy subjects, moderate, under medication, and recovered SARS-COV-2 patients. In 2020, 38 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from 6 healthy subjects, 14 mod… Show more
