Role of probiotics and prebiotics in the management of gastrointestinal disorders from SARS-CoV-2 and bacterial secondary infections
13th International Conference on Liver Diseases & Hepatology

Abstract
The COVID-19, caused with the infection of SARS-CoV-2, has been a pandemic since December 2019. The virus, SARSCoV- 2, primarily infects lungs, and also causes dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, leading to the disruption of immune homeostasis (by invading gut epithelium using angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), thereby facilitating bacterial secondary infections causing gastrointestinal disorders. These events lead to a condition called blood-brain-barrier (BBB) dysfunction, which causes inflammation of the brain, and leads to severe and/or prolonged COVID-19. Prebiotics (including those derived from plant sources) —the components that enhance the viability and functionality of probiotics (in the gut), — act symbiotically thereby restoring the gut homeostasis and the BBB functionality as well, through gut-microbiota-brain axis. Thus, COVID-19 and the associated bacterial secondary infections causing gastrointestinal disorders might be prevented with probiotics as well as prebiotics supplementations.Biography
