Abstract :
the impact of gut as the origin of different disorders has led to the gut-origin concept of diseases. the gut microbiome regulates host defenses against viral infections, thus dysbiosis can play a major role in triggering the cascade of inflammation and causing immune imbalances in covid-19 patients. it appears that gut microbial signature in covid-19 patients can be used as a potential diagnostic, therapeutic, and even a prognostic marker. personalized nutrition therapy can be used by profiling the gut microbiota of individual patients and specialized probiotics/synbiotics to modify gut dysbiosis. hence, improving overall immune responses can be recommended in these patients
