Here’s a study from China that was published this year. It gives some evidence of a microbiome connection to the level of a woman’s libido.

This could be true. I just had a full microbiome analysis and I lack ruminococcus (mentioned in article). But I also lack bifido and lacto bacterias.

There was also a recent article about how researchers at UC San Francisco were able to edit the microbiome of mice using the CRISPR gene editing technique. See below:

When you say that you lack these bacteria, are your levels lower than normal or did the test not find any of these types of bacteria?
Re: Differences in the Gut Microbiome of Women With and Without Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder: Case Control Study
It found some ruminococcus, it is just lower than normal range. I don't have at all many lacto and bifido strains which are in the "neuroactive bacteria" category. I mostly have just two bad types in my gut: pseudomonas and sutterella. First is associated with sibo, the last with autism.

I agree, and Dihydrotestosterone influence's gut function as well!
