Pathobiology and dysbiosis of the respiratory and intestinal microbiota in 14 months old Golden Syrian hamsters infected with SARS-CoV-2

Abstract: The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS2) affected the geriatric population. Among research models, Golden Syrian hamsters (GSH) are one of the most representative to study SARS2 pathogenesis and host responses. However, animal studies that recapitulate the effects of SARS2 in the human geriatric population are lacking. To address this gap, we inoculated 14 months old GSH with a prototypic ancestral strain of SARS2 and studied the effects on virus pathogenesis, virus shedding, and… Show more

“…In this context, the establishment of animal experimental models capable of faithfully replicating gut microbiota alterations in response to COVID‐19 is of paramount significance. While various models have been explored, including K18‐hACE2 transgenic mice, hamsters, and nonhuman primates, none have reported the detection of infectious viruses within the gut, 17–21 which is believed to directly influence the gut microbiota 22,23 . In our prior research, we successfully established a novel humanized ACE2 knock‐in (hACE2‐KI) mouse model capable of recapitulating both pulmonary and intestinal SARS‐CoV‐2 infection 24 .…”

“…While various models have been explored, including K18-hACE2 transgenic mice, hamsters, and nonhuman primates, none have reported the detection of infectious viruses within the gut, [17][18][19][20][21] which is believed to directly influence the gut microbiota. 22,23 In our prior research, we successfully established a novel humanized ACE2 knock-in (hACE2-KI) mouse model capable of recapitulating both pulmonary and intestinal SARS-CoV-2 infection. 24 Consequently, we leveraged this model in the current study to investigate the responses of the gut microbiota to SARS-CoV-2 infection, recognizing the susceptibility of gut microbiota to the virus.…”
