The Cirrhosis Dysbiosis Ratio defines Changes in the Gut Microbiome Associated with Cirrhosis and its Complications (2013, positive): “Although further studies are needed, this extends prior studies of non-cirrhotic alcoholics in the cirrhosis realm and could also explain the higher infection rate and bacterial translocation in alcoholic cirrhotics [32–34].”
Intestinal permeability, gut-bacterial dysbiosis, and behavioral markers of alcohol-dependence severity (2014, result): “showed alterations of the mucosal-associated colonic microbiome in only a subset (31%) of AD subjects (49), indicating that not all alcoholics were dysbiotic, which is in line with our observation that only part of the AD patients had an altered gut-microbiota profile.”
Bacterial infections in cirrhosis: a position statement based on the EASL Special Conference 2013. (2014, background): “Several studies described the microbial taxonomy in patients with early and end-stage liver disease [43] due to chronic hepatitis B infection [44,45], alcohol [44,46], and NAFLD/NASH [47,48].”
