TLDR
Fecal microbiota alterations were associated with fecal levels of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 severity, and strategies to alter the intestinal microbiota might reduce disease severity.

Long covid-mechanisms, risk factors, and management.

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes studies of the long term effects of covid-19 in hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients and describes the persistent symptoms they endure, including fatigue, dyspnea, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, muscle pain, concentration problems, and headache.

Long COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome: putative pathophysiology, risk factors, and treatments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on long COVID-19 syndrome is presented, which is driven by long-term tissue damage (e.g. lung, brain, and heart) and pathological inflammation (i.e. from viral persistence, immune dysregulation, and autoimmunity).
Journal ArticleDOI

Why is COVID-19 less severe in children? A review of the proposed mechanisms underlying the age-related difference in severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections.

TL;DR: Factors that might protect children include differences in innate and adaptive immunity, more frequent recurrent and concurrent infections, pre-existing immunity to coronaviruses, and differences in microbiota.

Trimmomatic: a flexible trimmer for Illumina sequence data

TL;DR: Timmomatic is developed as a more flexible and efficient preprocessing tool, which could correctly handle paired-end data and is shown to produce output that is at least competitive with, and in many cases superior to, that produced by other tools, in all scenarios tested.

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 99 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China: a descriptive study

TL;DR: Characteristics of patients who died were in line with the MuLBSTA score, an early warning model for predicting mortality in viral pneumonia, and further investigation is needed to explore the applicability of the Mu LBSTA scores in predicting the risk of mortality in 2019-nCoV infection.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.

Microbial ecology: Human gut microbes associated with obesity

TL;DR: It is shown that the relative proportion of Bacteroidetes is decreased in obese people by comparison with lean people, and that this proportion increases with weight loss on two types of low-calorie diet.
