2022-05-31
Abstract excerpt
Oral and upper respiratory microbiota play important roles in modulating host immune responses to viral infection. As emerging evidence suggests the host microbiome may be involved in the pathophysiology of COVID-19, we aimed to investigate associations between the oral and nasopharyngeal microbiome and COVID-19 severity. We collected saliva ( n = 78) and nasopharyngeal swab ( n = 66) samples from a COVID-19 coh...
