Full-length 16S rRNA enabled analysis highlights the restoration of gut microbiota in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Sonia: Our hypothesis is that the gut microbiota composition in Alzheimer’s is detrimental to the recovery of brain damage.

Lactobacillus spp, specifically L. reuteri and L. johnsonii, were differentially abundant in AD and healthy mice; they represent promising avenues for probiotic treatment.

Microbiota from aged AD mice worsen the pathological effects of brain injury.
