Study shows SARS-CoV-2 infection can change nasopharyngeal microbiota composition in pregnancy

A recent study from Spain showed that the infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can change the overall structure and diversity of the nasopharyngeal microbiota in pregnant women – which persists even weeks after clinical infection. The paper is currently available on Research Square preprint* server.
