Comparison of phage and plasmid populations present in the gut microbiota of Parkinson’s disease patients

2023-10-23

Abstract excerpt

The aging population worldwide is on the rise, leading to a higher number of Parkinson’s disease (PD) cases each year. PD is presently the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, affecting an estimated 7-10 million individuals globally. This research aimed to identify mobile genetic elements in human fecal samples using a shotgun metagenomics approach. We found over 44,000 plasmid contigs and compared pla...
