KEY POINTS
The study will be presented during this week’s World Microbe Forum
It offers a “more sustainable way” of fighting the viral infection
Probiotics have gained popularity for their possible health benefits
Can gut bacteria help fight COVID-19? A team of researchers has found that certain bacteria in the intestine can produce compounds that may prevent an invasion of the virus.
...”Finding microbes that secrete anti-coronavirus molecules will be a promising method to develop natural or engineered probiotics to expand our therapeutics prevention techniques, to provide a more sustainable way to combat the viral infection,” Ali added.
This isn’t the first study to look at the possible role of probiotics to manage COVID-19 and other coronavirus-related illnesses. In 2020, for instance, a pair of researchers said probiotics “hold promise” in abrogating the immune response to the virus and, in possibly enhancing vaccine efficacy.
