SUMMARY:

The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the new global pandemic, which has already resulted in millions of deaths, affecting health and the world economy. The lack of specific therapies requires other strategies to prevent the incidence, recurrence and reduce the symptoms of this previously unknown viral respiratory infection. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, after oral administration, favor the health of the individual by modulating the composition of the microbiota of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Thus, different single or multivariate probiotic strains have been studied in order to clarify the mechanisms involved in the prevention and treatment of respiratory infections of viral origin. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the antiviral and immunological effects of therapy with probiotic microorganisms on the prevention and treatment of respiratory infections such as those caused by SARSCoV-2 (COVID-19) by analyzing the results of clinical trials published in last 11 years. We reviewed the literature (June 2010 to June 2021) according to PRISMA criteria. The results support the assumption that the supplementation of probiotics are able to reduce the incidence and symptoms of respiratory infections, with performance being related through the use of isolated or combined strains, as well as the administration time. Published trials using this strategy in COVID-19 patients are still scarce, but trials are ongoing. The strategies are promising.
