Research Article: The Effect of COVID-19 on Gut Microbiota: Exploring the Complex Interplay and Implications for Human Health

Date Published: 2023-08-18

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to significant global health implications. Although the respiratory manifestations of COVID-19 are widely recognized, emerging evidence suggests that the disease may also significantly affect the gut microbiota, the intricate community of bacteria that lives within the gastrointestinal system. This extensive article intends to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the gut microbiota, examining the underlying mechanisms, clinical implications, and potential therapeutic interventions. Understanding the complex interactions between COVID-19 and the gut microbiota will help us to gain valuable insights into the broader consequences of this viral infection on human health.

Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health crisis caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), a single-stranded enveloped positive-sense RNA virus with an average diameter of 75–150 nm that originated in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 and spread worldwide [1]. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic [2], and to date, almost 7-million people have died from COVID-19 [3]. The virus predominantly affects the respiratory system, inducing a…
