Dynamic Changes of the Fungal Microbiome in Alcohol Use Disorder

Abstract

In conclusion, improved liver health in AUD patients after alcohol abstinence was associated with lower intestinal abundances of <i>Candida</i> and <i>Malassezia</i>, and lower serum anti-<i>C. albicans</i> IgG levels. Intestinal fungi might serve as a therapeutic target to improve the outcome of patients in ALD.
