Figure 1 : Inter-relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and
respiratory microbiomes leading to co-infections in CoVID-19 patients .
COVID-19 patients can be co-infected with different microbial domains
including viruses (other than SARS-CoV-2), bacteria, archaea and fungi.
These diverse microbial communities concurrently complicate the
patho-physiology and disease progression of SARS-CoV-2 infections.

COVID-19, their transmission pattern along with the possible mechanism
of co-infections and outcomes.
