CMM Researchers Discover Bacterial Extracts with Potential to Prevent SARS-COV-2 Infection

Feb. 28, 2022
This diagram illustrates how the bacterial lysate OM-85 inhibits SARS-CoV-2 from infecting lung epithelial cells by reducing the expression of necessary receptors.

Researchers led by Dr. Vadim Pivniouk have discovered that respiratory bacterial extracts known as OM-85 reduce the ability of the SARS-COV-2 virus to attach to lung cells. Read more here.
