High-throughput sequencing analysis of the characteristics of the gut microbiota in aged patients with sarcopenia

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we have identified changes in the gut microbiota of sarcopenic individuals, which were linked to the loss of muscle mass and function. Escherichia-Shigella is a conditional pathogen of sarcopenic patients, and its levels are found to have a significant negative correlation with muscle mass.PMID:37716483 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2023.112287
