The predominant microbiota in the COVID-19 patients reported from current studies.
| Type | Outcome | Ref |
|---|---|---|
| Acinetobacter, Chryseobacterium, Burkholderia, Brevundimonas, Sphingobium | The critical impact of mucosal microbiota on the susceptibility to SARS-CoV2 infection and severity of COVID-19 patients | [158] |
| Cutaneotrichosporon, Issatchenkia, Wallemia, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Dipodascus, Mortierella, Aspergillus, Naganishia, Diutina, and Candida | ||
| Firmicutes (42%), Bacteroidetes (25), Proteobacteria (18%), Actinobacteria (8%), and Fusobacteria (5%) | No statistically significant differences in nasopharyngeal microbiota of SARS-CoV-2 infection. | [144] |
| Acinetobacter (80.70%), Chryseobacterium (2.68%), Burkholderia (2.00%), Brevundimonas (1.18%), Sphingobium (0.93%), Mycobacterium (3.59%), and Prevotella (0.56%) | COVID-19 mortality is associated with complex mixed bacterial and fungal infections in the lungs, and microbiota monitoring is necessary in the lower respiratory tract for on-time personalized therapy. | [159] |
| Cutaneotrichosporon (Cryptococcus, 28.14%), followed by Issatchenkia (8.22%), Wallemia (4.77%), Cladosporium (4.67%), Alternaria (4.46%), Dipodascus (4.01%), Mortierella (3.22%), Aspergillus (2.72%), Naganishia (2.53%), Diutina (2.15%), and Candida (1.42%) |
