COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infection accompanied by pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has afected millions of people globally. To date, there are no highly efcient therapies for this infection. Probiotic bacteria can interact with the gut microbiome to strengthen the immune system, enhance immune responses, and induce appropriate immune signaling pathways. Several probiotics have been confrmed to reduce the duration of bacterial or viral infections. Immune ftness may be one of the approaches by which protection against viral infections can be reinforced. In general, prevention is more efcient than therapy in fghting viral infections. Thus, probiotics have emerged as suitable candidates for controlling these infections. During the COVID-19 pandemic, any approach with the capacity to induce mucosal and systemic reactions could potentially be useful. Here, we summarize fndings regarding the efectiveness of various probiotics for preventing virus-induced respiratory infectious diseases, especially those that could be employed for COVID-19 patients. However, the benefts of probiotics are strain-specifc, and it is necessary to identify the bacterial strains that are scientifcally established to be benefcial.
