Probiotics belonged to Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are among the most reported probiotics for their strong antiviral activity. Bioactive compounds in fermented foods were reported to prevent infection by targeting the virus by stimulating the host immune system. The stimulation of the immune system function involves several mechanisms such as enhancing natural killers cell toxicity, stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increasing the cytotoxic of T lymphocytes (CD3+CD16+CD56+). Fermented foods that contain probiotics and bioactive compounds have the potential to block the viruses attachment to the cells and stimulate the immune system of the host.
