Bovine colostrum has been advocated as a source of immunity against external environmental microorganisms. Recurrent upper respiratory tract infections present a critical public health concern in the developing countries. The present case report was performed to assess the influence of bovine colostrum in preventing recurrent upper respiratory tract infections caused by respiratory viruses in an adult in Jordan in addition to its effect on respiratory microbiome. In conclusion, bovine colostrum was successful in the prevention of upper respiratory tract infections and significantly affected the nasal swab microbiome. This is the first case report investigating the influence of bovine colostrum on the nasal swab microbiome.
