Dysbiosis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and biofilms in autism and chronic illness

  • Received: 28 February 2018 Accepted: 22 May 2018 Published: 07 June 2018
  • Recent evidences highlight that alteration of gut microbiota homeostasis could trigger several human pathologies, among them autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This short hypothesis article summarizes the recent literature and offers a novel, complementary and biomedical drugs/natural agents-combined therapy for treating gastrointestinal issues and microbial biofilms in ASD and chronic illness.
