AUTO-brewery syndrome and the human microbiome: Insights into endogenous ethanol production and human diseases

Key Points

• Endogenous ethanol production may contribute to disease, complicating diagnoses and treatment.
• The analysis observed altered gut bacteria profiles in individuals with auto-brewery syndrome, implicating metabolic pathways.
• Assessment of microbial communities highlights the role of gut bacteria in ethanol metabolism and human health.
• Understanding these mechanisms may enable better management of associated conditions, though further research is necessary.
