This review points out the role of dysbiosis of the gut microbiota involving in sepsis, on the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Due to the common symptoms, indicating respiratory tract disease, of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, the main organ effected by the COVID-19 seems to be lung. In addition to the data detecting viral RNA in feces previously, these results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection does not remain with the respiratory tract only and the gastrointestinal system contribute to the course of the disease as well. However, with the limited data until today, it is hard to propose a fecal-oral transmission route to explain the enteric symptoms in COVID-19 patients and claim that SARS-CoV-2 pass through stomach and reach intestine to infect the intestinal cells as enteric viruses accomplish.	./cache/cord-308615-4fobikeh.txt	./txt/cord-308615-4fobikeh.txt
