Unveiling the role of the upper respiratory tract microbiome in susceptibility and severity to COVID-19 [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
It is argued that commensal bacteria in the upper respiratory tract (URT) protect against pathogen colonization and infection, including respiratory viruses. Given that the microbiome can mediate immune modulation, a link between the URT microbiome (URTM)
