Streptococcus, the Predominant Bacterium to Predict the Severity of Liver Injury in Alcoholic Liver Disease

Abstract

These findings indicate that the imbalance of gut microbiota exists at the early and end-stages of ALD, and the degree of disorder is aggravated with the progression of ALD. <i>Streptococcus</i>, as the predominant bacterium, may be a microbiological marker to evaluate the severity of liver injury in ALD patients.
