Alteration of the gut microbiota’s composition and metabolic output correlates with COVID-19-like severity in obese NASH hamsters by Valentin Sencio, Nicolas Benech, Cyril Robil, Lucie Deruyter, Séverine Heumel, Arnaud Machelart, Thierry Sulpice, Antonin Lamazière, Corinne Grangette, François Briand, Harry Sokol, François Trottein

“…Relative to lean non-NASH controls, obese NASH hamsters develop severe inflammation of the lungs and liver. 16S rRNA gene profiling showed that depending on the diet, SARS-CoV-2 infection induced various changes in the gut microbiota’s composition. Changes were more prominent and transient at day 4 post-infection in lean animals, alterations still persisted at day 10 in obese NASH animals. …”
