Evaluation of 16S rRNA primer sets for characterisation of microbiota in paediatric patients with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract Abstract intestinal microbiota is becoming a significant marker that reflects differences between health and disease status also in terms of gut-brain axis communication. Studies show that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have a mix of gut microbes that is distinct from th...
