Abstract excerpt

Growing evidence indicates that persons with Parkinson disease (PD), have a unique composition of indigenous gut microbes. Given the long prodromal or pre-diagnosed period, longitudinal studies of the human and rodent gut microbiome before symptomatic onset and for the duration of the disease are currently lacking.
