Abstract

The microbiota are related to several human diseases and influence human health [1], figure 1-4. Critical functions of microbiota are decomposition of indigestible proteins, carbohydrates, digestion and absorption of nutrients, host immunity induction, function, and instruction, including vitamin biosynthesis [2-6]. A recent study revealed that gut microbiota (GM) were stratified by occurrence of bloodstream infection (BSI) and intensive-care-unit (ICU) admission (p < 0.05) [7]. ICU patients and those developing BSI were specifically characterized by the over-representation of Enterococcus compared to the respective counterparts (p < 0.001), whereas Clostridiales, Streptococcus, Blautia, Oscillospira, Lachnospiraceae, and other Ruminococcaceae taxa were related to non-ICU-admitted-COVID-19 and non-BSI patients (p < 0.001) [7].
