Longitudinal dynamics of the gut microbiome in a patient with auto-brewery syndrome
Auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) is a rare condition in which the gut produces ethanol from dietary carbohydrates, causing alcohol intoxication without drinking. This longitudinal metagenomic study tracks the gut microbiome of an ABS patient before, during, and after treatment. Our aim was to identify ethanol-producing species and enzymatic pathways responsible for ethanol production.
