ABSTRACTZhou et al. study nicely traces a significant topic in COVID-19 infection: the persistence of the virus within the intestinal tract. Many pathological mechanisms have been noted in the current literature about the mode of infection and propagation of SARS-CoV-2 in the human body. Nevertheless, there are still many concerns about this: only some things seem well understood. We present a different point of view by illustrating the importance of the gut microbiome in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 disorders.
