These patients also have a high rate of secondary bacterial infections that may be life-threatening. However, it hasn\u2019t been clear how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, affects the gut microbiome. Many critically ill COVID-19 patients receive antibiotics. These can also affect gut microbes. So, it\u2019s not clear if COVID-19 or antibiotic treatment causes the microbiome disruptions in these patients.<\/p>\n<!-- <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" title=\" nkvh Hhz unzy pAw\"> nkvh Hhz unzy pAw<\/a> --><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(NIH) The trillions of microbes living in the gut\u2014bacteria, fungi, and viruses\u2014are known collectively as the gut microbiome.
