Alzheimers Disease microbiome in elders
Studies examining the intestinal microbiota of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients revealed that their microbiome differs from subjects without dementia. In this work, 108 nursing home elders were prospectively enrolled and followed for up to 5 months collecting longitudinal stool samples. Samples were subjected to metagenomic sequencing for identification of taxa that act as major predictors of AD.
