Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: were enriched in the C-PD group. The co-occurrence network analysis showed that the C-PD group presented a different microbial community relationship compared with the NC-PD group and the healthy controls. Our study provides strong evidence that the gut microbiota may be related to constipation in PD. In addition, our data suggest an association between the differential microbiota genera and the clinical features of PD. Therefore, modulating gut microbiota may be another way to monitor and optimize PD treatment.
