Gut microbiota imbalance in colorectal cancer patients, the risk factor of COVID-19 mortality

Abstract Background COVID-19 pandemic is sweeping across the world. Previous studies have shown that gut microbiota is associated with COVID-19, and operational taxonomic unit (OTU) composed of Blautia genus, Lactobacillus genus, and Ruminococcus genus of Firmicutes is correlated with the severity o...
