The Social Distancing Imposed To Contain COVID-19 Can Affect Our Microbiome: a Double-Edged Sword in Human Health 2020-09-16 .txt text/plain 2146 99 35 Interrupting the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between individuals in a social network through confinement and adherence to rules of hygiene and social distancing has been important to contain COVID-19 spread, yet it also decreases the likelihood of sharing other microorganisms of the human microbiota. We also argue that these measures could have two opposite consequences for COVID-19: (i) the loss of biodiversity, if not effectively restored, could be perennial and persist from one generation to the next, potentially driving to disease and a poorer prognostic of COVID-19, in a perverse and negative effect; (ii) social isolation and imposed hygiene rules can also lead to a decrease in the transmission of microorganisms and their genes from one individual to another, which might result in the dissociation of the correlation between the diversity of bacterial antibiotic resistance genes and virulence genes (29, 30) . ./cache/cord-349168-ec5p9b2f.txt ./txt/cord-349168-ec5p9b2f.txt
