The ketogenic diet influences taxonomic and functional composition of the gut microbiota in children with severe epilepsy
metagenome
We collected fecal samples from 12 children with therapy-resistant epilepsy before starting KD and after three months on the diet. Parents did not start KD and served as diet controls. Applying shotgun metagenomic DNA sequencing we established both taxonomic and functional profiles.
