Abstract
In recent years the hypothesis that gut microbiota associates with Parkinson's disease (PD) has gained importance, although it has not been possible to define a specific microbiota composition as a predictive biomarker of this disease. We have investigated dysbiosis of gut microbiota in a selected population of PD patients from Central Italy, and examined the weight of specific confounders and predictors, in order to identify potential correlations with clinical phenotypes.
