  3. Probiotics and COVID‐19: is there any link?

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Significance and Impact of the Study: The role of probiotics in alleviation of the novel COVID‐19 has not been established. This review provides an insight about the anti‐inflammatory, antiviral effects of probiotics in vitro, animal models and human. The latter can provide an indirect evidence and/or hypothesis‐driven approach to investigate the use of probiotics as adjunctive therapy in the prophylaxis and/or alleviation of COVID‐19 symptoms.

  4. BCG vaccination early in life does not improve COVID‐19 outcome of elderly populations, based on nationally reported data

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Significance and Impact of the Study: It has been suggested in the recent literature that some countries have lower case rates or death rates of Covid‐19 as a result of large‐scale BCG vaccination programs. This has resulted in the initiation of clinical trials to assess if the vaccine can act as a prophylactic or ameliorate the disease.
