Figures & data

Figure 1. A conceptual framework of the impact of SARS-CoV-2 oral infection on the local and distant microbiomes across the ‘oral-tract axes’. The left panel illustrates the potential reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2 during the infection of the oral cavity. The right panel highlights current knowledge and potential interactions of the virus across the oral/gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, which remain largely unexplored
