Abstract
Prevention and treatment measures against influenza virus infection remain limited, and alternative host protection strategies are badly needed. In this review, we discuss the regulatory role of intestinal microbiota in influenza infections, and present the latest evidence for strategies seeking to harness gut microbiota for the management of influenza infections.
