Pune: The good bacteria in the nose environment of a positive person Covid can affect the severity of infection, a research by the National Cell Science (NCCS) National Center (NCCS) and B J.
Medical College has revealed.
Scientists say this can also explain why certain individuals infected with SARS-COV-2 do not show the symptoms – concepts that are rather like the presence of good bacteria in the intestine helping the body’s immunity against infection.
The study has also observed a higher abundance of specific opportunistic pathogens in those infected with Covid-19, indicating that the inflammatory environment caused by infection caused an increase in bacterial pathogens that could cause secondary infections.
Secondary infections can occur when infections are different, known as primary infections, making someone more susceptible to disease.
“Increasing pathogenic bacteria on nasal microbiomes (micro-organisms in certain environments) Covid-19 patients are caused by mucus accumulation, which is known to support the growth of these organisms, and the hyper-inflammatory environment (extensive inflammation in the body) that supports their growth,” Avinash said Sharma, scientists, NCCS, who lead research.
Sharma said that the increase in various opportunistic pathogens in the nose environment may also promote the entry of viruses through routes.
“There is a reduction in good bacteria, which is known to have a positive impact on the immune system, in the patient’s nose area of ​​Covid-19.
This, in turn, causes opportunistic pathogens to colonize the site.
This research is important to help determine how the virus actually promotes an increase in opportunistic pathogens , which can increase the severity of other diseases.
“As part of this study, researchers collected nasopharyngeal nasopharyngeals from patients suspected of being clinically SARS-COV-2 infection and their family’s contact.
