Coordinating and Assisting Research at the SARS-CoV-2/Microbiome Nexus

ABSTRACT Although the COVID-19 pandemic is caused by a single virus, the rest of the human microbiome appears to be involved in the disease and could influence vaccine responses while offering opportunities for microbiome-directed therapeutics. The newly formed Microbiome Centers Consortium (MCC) su...
