Significantly lower alpha diversity and distinct beta diversity were found in patients with depression compared to controls, indicating gut health differences.
Eleven taxa were identified, with some like Dialister and Lactococcus decreased, while Hungatella and others increased, relating to gut inflammation.
Stool samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing to explore microbial differences between depressive patients and healthy controls.
The newly developed Dysbiosis Index correlated with depression severity, highlighting its potential utility for future clinical assessments.
