Changes in Gut Microbiota in Children with Epilepsy Based on 16S rRNA Analysis
Gut microbiota differs significantly between epileptic and healthy childrenHigher species diversity was observed in the gut microbiota of epileptic children.Increased abundance of Veillonellaceae and Megasphaera exist in epileptic children.16S rRNA sequencing was used to analyze gut microbiota at six taxonomic levels.Findings suggest gut microbiota may influence epilepsy pathogenesis and treatment.
