Title: Clostridia and Mental Health

Clostridia bacteria are commonly found in the gut-microbiome. Clostridia deficiency in the gut can lead to a disorder called clostridia deficile infection (CDI). Effects of this infection can lead too severe diarrhea and also the increase in severity of many bowel related diseases is also increased as a results of the infection. Clostridia bacteria in the gut has been linked to brain connectivity and healthy function.

Patients that have been subjected to micro-biome transplants to treat their CDI have seen improvements in their mood and mental health. Indicating the presence of Clostridia in the gut microbiome means an improved mental health. Clostridia, through research, is being seen as a microbe linked to improved mental health. Gut microbiome transplants are seen as a possible future avenue for treating mental health disorders.
