Microbes and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). With Prof Liam O’Mahony

In this webinar, Professor O’Mahony talks about the role of gut microbes in immune and intestinal health in patients with COVID-19, how these microbes may be predictors of responses to COVID-19, and discusses the consideration of practical approaches to modulate the gut microbiome response in the management of COVID-19.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the impact of the diversity of the gut microbiome in host immune responses
  • Understand the potential to modulate host immune responses via alteration of the gut microbiota composition
  • Understand the composition of the gut microbiome as a predictor of COVID-19 clinical outcomes
  • Understand the protective role of bifidobacteria in COVID-19 recovery
  • Understand the potential mechanisms and implications of post-infective irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in patients with long-COVID
