Abstract
The global pandemic COVID-19 has brought devastating health, social and economic effects that drastically impacts the health services delivery. The route of entry of the SARSCOV- 2 is respiratory system where it disturbs the equilibrium. The miscommunication between the adaptive and innate immunity is the indirect cause of death in patients suffering from COVID-19 severe symptoms. The failure in the production of effective antibodies against the virus causes the mortality. This shows that the adaptive immune response takes longer than the innate immune response. It is proposed that bacterial biofilms can be similar to viral biofilms representing the viral communities with augmented infectious capacity [1].
Highlights
It is proposed that bacterial biofilms can be similar to viral biofilms representing the viral communities with augmented infectious capacity [1]
Biofilms accumulate in viral infections and despite having the common features between bacterial and viral biofilms the major difference is being that the matrix of viral assembly is formed by the infected cell whereas the bacterial biofilm matrix is formed by the microbe itself
SARS-COV-2 transmission is relying on the production of extracellular viral particles and the concentration, structure, function and composition of the viral particles are similar to those of the bacterial biofilms
