Abstract: Long COVID-19, characterized by persistent symptoms following acute COVID-19 infection, presents a multifaceted challenge. Recent research has unveiled the potential role of gut microbiota in shaping the course of Long COVID, offering insights into its consequences and therapeutic avenues. Dysbiosis in the gut microbiota, marked by a reduction in beneficial commensal bacteria and an increase in pro-inflammatory taxa, appears to be a common feature in Long-term COVID patients. Notably, microbiota composition correlates with symptom severity and duration, suggesting a link between gut microbiome composition and Long COVID’s clinical manifestations.
