Gut microbiota in patients with COVID-19 and type 2 diabetes: A culture-based method.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to affect people around the world, with one of the most frequent comorbidities being Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Studies have suggested a link between disbalances in gut microbiota and these diseases, as well as with COVID-19, potentially due to inflammatory dysfunction. This study aims to analyze the changes in gut microbiota in COVID-19 patients with T2D using a culture-based method.

Methods

The stool samples were taken from 128 patients with confirmed COVID-19. Changes in the composition of gut microbiota were analyzed by culture-based method. The study used chi-squared and t-test to find significant differences in gut bacteria between samples and non-parametric correlation analysis to examine rela
