Lost microbes of COVID-19: Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium depletion and decreased microbiome diversity associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection severity by Eamonn MM Quigley, Thomas J Borody, Sabine Hazan, Neil Stollman, Huseyin S Bozkurt, Sonya Dave, Andreas J Papoutsis, Jordan Daniels, Brad D Barrows

“…Interestingly, there was an inverse association between disease severity and abundance of the same bacteria.Conclusion We hypothesise that low bacterial diversity and depletion of Bifidobacterium genera either before or after infection led to reduced proimmune function, thereby allowing SARS-CoV-2 infection to become symptomatic. …”
