Modulation of innate immunity related genes resulting in prophylactic antimicrobial and antiviral properties.

Researchers studied how interactions between viruses (influenza, RSV) and bacteria/fungi in the respiratory tract can dysregulate the immune system during COVID-19, especially in children and vulnerable populations. This knowledge is crucial for managing co-infections and improving patient outcomes.
