To decipher the interplay of microorganisms between the intestinal and respiratory tracts, we collected sputum and throat swabs and feces from COVID-19 patients and explored the mutual migration among intestinal and respiratory microorganisms. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, we investigated intestinal and respiratory microorganism intermigration in two patients with severe COVID-19 during their hospitalization. Notably, we observed an expedited recovery of microecological equilibrium in one patient harboring Mycobacterium avium. Comparative analyses between 32 healthy controls and 110 COVID-19 patients with different disease severities revealed alterations in predominant microorganisms inhabiting the respiratory and intestinal tracts of COVID-19 patients. Among the alterations, intestinal Bacteroides vulgatus (BV) was identified as a noteworthy microorganism that exhibited marked enrichment in patients with severe COVID-19. BV, when highly abundant, may inhibit the transitional growth of Escherichia coli/Enterococcus, indirectly prevent the overgrowth of salivary streptococci, and maintain lung/intestinal microecology stability. In summary, this study elucidates the bidirectional microbial intermigration between the intestinal and respiratory tracts in COVID-19 patients. These findings are expected to provide new ideas for the treatment and management of COVID-19, underscoring the essential role of microecology in infectious diseases.
