Assessing Influence of SSRIs on the Human Gut Microbiome, 2022

Unread post by anacleta »

Abstract
We sought to find whether orally administered SSRIs affect the microbial composition of the human microbiome. To identify how the microbial communities in the samples changed over time and treatment, the collected microbial samples were subjected to DNA extraction. The DNA were sent for marker gene amplification and next generation sequencing at the Loyola Genomics Facility. Upon receiving this data, our lab used a bioinformatic pipeline to analyze the genetic sequences of the marker genes in these microbial communities to determine what differences, if any, different concentrations of SSRIs have on the human microbiome.
