Metagenomics of Parkinson’s disease implicates the gut microbiome in multiple disease mechanisms
Abstract
Here, the authors perform large-scale high-resolution Parkinson’s disease metagenomics analyses, revealing widespread dysbiosis characterized by overabundance of pathogens, immunogens, toxicants, and curli, reduction in neuroprotective and antiinflammatory molecules, and dysregulated neuroactive signaling.
