SARS‐CoV‐2 spike glycoprotein‐binding proteins expressed by upper respiratory tract bacteria may prevent severe viral infection
- Abstract:
-
SARS‐CoV‐2 has become a major global challenge. The virus infects host cells using its spike glycoprotein and has significantly higher infectivity and mortality rates among the aged population. Here, based on bioinformatic analysis, I provide evidence that some members of the upper respiratory tract (URT) commensal bacteria express viral spike glycoprotein‐binding proteins. Based on this analysis and available data showing a decline in the population of these bacteria in the elderly, I propos...
