According to the international statistics website ‘Worldometer’ on the 1st, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases around the world is estimated at approximately 700 million. One in 10 of the world’s population of approximately 8.1 billion people has COVID-19. As the number of confirmed cases is enormous, the symptoms experienced by each confirmed patient vary greatly. A U.S. research team found the cause of these widely varying symptoms in intestinal microorganisms. Depending on the intestinal microbial community, infection symptoms may be mild or severe.

Professor Andrew Zewarz’s research team at the Translational Antiviral Research Center under the Biomedical Research Institute at the University of Georgia published these research results in the international academic journal ‘Cell Host & Microbe’ on the 30th of last month (local time).

The human body is home to 100 trillion microorganisms, which are more than body cells. Intestinal microorganisms are microorganisms that live in the human intestine. It lives in the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine and helps with food digestion and excretion. Recently, various research results have revealed that intestinal microorganisms affect not only the simple digestive process but also the health of the entire body, including intestinal health and even cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
