Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by respiratory syndrome coronavirus qualified as SARS-CoV-2. Viral penetration requires binding of the viral spike (S) protein to a specific cellular receptor (ACE2) highly expressed in nasal goblet and ciliated cells. In several countries, the COVID-19 evolution was relatively benign compared to other and despite non-compliance with health recommendations on several occasions. In this overview, we attempt to define the criteria that could explain such difference. Among these criteria, the specificity of Lactobacillus genus strains, as a part of nasal microbiota, could play a role of barrier against viral penetration and could strengthen the host\'s immune system in some population rather than others. In fact, several studies have shown the role of lactic acid bacteria including lactobacilli, in the prevention of viral respiratory infections. This could provide important information on a possible mechanism of the virus spreading. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
