A new study finds that people with Long COVID show different types and amounts of bacteria in their mouths and lungs compared to others. Researchers suggest these microbial changes could be linked to the persistent symptoms of the condition, adding to growing evidence that Long COVID involves measurable biological differences. The Australian Science Media Centre highlighted the findings for journalists covering the research.

Why now: Fresh research offers a possible biological explanation for Long COVID symptoms, a topic of continuing public and scientific concern.
