- C. accolens is a common nose inhabitant - C. accolens incidence was significantly decreased in the URT of patients with SARS-CoV-2 compared with uninfected controls. Corynebacterium accolens can inhibit Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus growth, possibly through triolein hydrolysis, which releases #Oleic acid. - In addition to inhibiting bacterial pathogens, #Oleic acid is capable of inhibiting other enveloped viruses, such as herpes and influenza. - Oleoylethanolamide, an #Oleic acid derivative, may inhibit the release of proinflammatory cytokines induced by SARS-CoV-2, potetially reducing the risk of a patient developing a cytokine storm, which is associated with severe disease and high mortality.
