Robust cross-cohort gut microbiome associations with COVID-19 severity

Junhui Li, Tarini Shankar Ghosh, Rachel McCann, Patrick Mallon, Colin Hill, Lorraine Draper, David Schult, Liam J. Fanning, Robert Shannon, Corinna Sadlier, Mary Horgan, Liam O'Mahony, Paul W. O'Toole

Summary: In this meta-analysis, the association between the gut microbiome and COVID-19 disease severity was investigated. It was found that disease severity was associated with taxonomic and functional microbiome differences, which peaked between 7-30 days after diagnosis and gradually returned to a configuration similar to that of healthy individuals. A core set of species consistently associated with disease severity was identified, and Actinomyces oris abundance was found to predict the mortality rate of COVID-19. Additionally, the composition of intestinal archaeal, fungal, viral, and parasitic communities was associated with disease severity.

Gut microbiota composition reflects disease severity and dysfunctional immune responses in patients with COVID-19

Yun Kit Yeoh, Tao Zuo, Grace Chung-Yan Lui, Fen Zhang, Qin Liu, Amy Y. L. Li, Arthur C. K. Chung, Chun Pan Cheung, Eugene Y. K. Tso, Kitty S. C. Fung, Veronica Chan, Lowell Ling, Gavin Joynt, David Shu-Cheong Hui, Kai Ming Chow, Susanna So Shan Ng, Timothy Chun-Man Li, Rita W. Y. Ng, Terry C. F. Yip, Grace Lai-Hung Wong, Francis K. L. Chan, Chun Kwok Wong, Paul K. S. Chan, Siew C. Ng

Summary: This study found that the gut microbiome composition was significantly altered in patients with COVID-19 compared to non-COVID-19 individuals, regardless of medication received. Certain gut commensals known for their immunomodulatory potential were underrepresented in patients and remained low even after disease resolution. Additionally, the altered gut microbiome composition correlated with disease severity and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and blood markers.

Altered gut microbiota patterns in COVID-19: Markers for inflammation and disease severity

Chiranjib Chakraborty, Ashish Ranjan Sharma, Manojit Bhattacharya, Kuldeep Dhama, Sang-Soo Lee

Summary: This article explores the critical factors affecting the gut microbiota in COVID-19 patients, including gut microbiota imbalance and gastrointestinal symptoms, the pattern of altered gut microbiota composition in COVID-19 patients, and the interactions between the microbiota and the gut-lung axis/gut-brain-lung axis. It also discusses the gut microbiota in elderly or co-morbid patients and gut microbiota dysbiosis in severe COVID-19, as well as clinical trials related to probiotics in COVID-19 patients. Increased inflammation is a major driving force for COVID-19 symptoms and disruption of the gut microbiome, and understanding the role of the gut microbiota in immune modulation during SARS-CoV-2 infection may help improve therapeutic strategies for COVID-19 treatment.

High association of COVID-19 severity with poor gut health score in Lebanese patients

Imad Al Kassaa, Sarah El Omari, Nada Abbas, Nicolas Papon, Djamel Drider, Issmat I. Kassem, Marwan Osman

Summary: This study demonstrated a potential association between gut health and COVID-19 severity in Lebanon, a country experiencing a severe economic crisis. The data analysis revealed that low gut health was correlated with more severe COVID-19 cases, and participants with unhealthy food intake were more likely to experience severe symptoms. Multiple logistic regression models showed significant associations between COVID-19 symptoms and variables such as gut health score, working status, and flu-like illness episodes.

Forconi, Gavin Fujimori, Boaz Odwar, Caitlin Cawley, Ann M. Moormann, Mireya Wessolossky, Ana Maldonado-Contreras

Summary: SARS-CoV-2-positive patients exhibit gut and oral microbiome dysbiosis, which is associated with various aspects of COVID-19 disease. Gut microbiota, but not oral microbiota, is a reliable predictor of both COVID-19-related fatality and severity in hospitalized patients, with a higher predictive value than most clinical variables. Perturbations of the gut microbiota due to enteral feeding do not associate with species that were predictive of COVID-19 severity.

Antibiotics cause metabolic changes in mice primarily through microbiome modulation rather than behavioral changes

Kale S. Bongers, Roderick A. McDonald, Katherine M. Winner, Nicole R. Falkowski, Christopher A. Brown, Jennifer M. Baker, Kevin J. Hinkle, Daniel J. Fergle, Robert P. Dickson

Summary: The microbiome plays a significant role in organismal metabolism, with microbiome modulation primarily mediating metabolic changes in mice treated with antibiotics. While antibiotics have off-target effects on behavior and diet, the weight loss seen in tissue-specific areas following antibiotic administration is primarily due to microbiome effects rather than food and water aversion.

Ultra-rapid somatic variant detection via real-time targeted amplicon sequencing

Jack Wadden, Brandon S. Newell, Joshua Bugbee, Vishal John, Amy K. Bruzek, Robert P. Dickson, Carl Koschmann, David Blaauw, Satish Narayanasamy, Reetuparna Das

Summary: This study presents a proof-of-principle approach for targeted variant detection in less than 1 hour using real-time DNA sequencers. By modifying existing protocols and optimizing diagnostic time-to-result, the researchers were able to confirm a hot-spot mutation in tumor tissue in about 52 minutes. They also explored rapid, targeted Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) and developed a bioinformatics tool called LAMPrey to process the sequenced LAMP product. Using LAMPrey, they demonstrated confirmation of a hot-spot mutation from tumor tissue in less than 30 minutes.
