SARS-CoV-2 does not have a strong effect on the nasopharyngeal microbial composition

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread around the world, impacting the lives of many individuals. Growing evidence suggests that the nasopharyngeal and respiratory tract microbiome are influenced by various health and disease conditions, including the presence and the se...
