Microbiome and Autism
The microbiome refers to the diverse community of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that live within and on the human body.
Studies have suggested that the composition and function of the microbiome may play a role in the development and manifestation of autism. For example, some research has found alterations in the gut microbiome of individuals with autism, while other studies have shown changes in the microbial communities in other body sites, such as the skin or mouth.
The relationship between the microbiome and autism is a complex aspect of the potential causes of autism symptoms. Certain types of bacteria are present in higher proportions in Autistic children. We also know that children with autism often have problems with their neurotransmitter levels. Intestinal bacteria play a major role in the production of neurotransmitters.
In this section, you will find articles related to the microbiome and its possible connection with autism.
