SARS‐CoV‐2 spike glycoprotein‐binding proteins expressed by upper respiratory tract bacteria may prevent severe viral infection

Abstract excerpt

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a major global challenge. The virus infects host cells using its spike glycoprotein (S-protein) and has significantly higher infectivity and mortality rates among the aged population. Here, based on bioinformatic analysis, I provide evidence that some members of the upper respiratory tract (URT) commensal bacteria express viral S-protein...
