Background: The pathogenesis of MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease), including its severe clinical forms, involves complex processes at all levels of biological organization. This study examined the potential link between the liver microbiome profile and epigenetic factors.
Methods: Liver microbial DNA composition was analysed using high throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing in 116 individuals, with 55% being female, across the spectrum of liver disease severity.
Unlabelled: Probiotics are live microorganisms that benefit the host in different clinical situations. Bacillus clausii is one of the most frequently used, but it is not without risk. To date, there are few reports of complications secondary to this agent in pediatric patients.
