| Core Tip |
This work reviews recent data about gut microbiota (GM) diversity in Mexico, a country in which more than 18.4% of adults present high blood pressure, 39.1% are overweight, 36.1% are obese, and more than 10.3% suffer from type 2 diabetes. This review highlights the link between GM dysbiosis and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 prevalence, which ranks Mexico third in cumulative coronavirus disease 2019 deaths in the world. |
