Some outtakes: Bacteroides is predominant in people eating large amounts of protein (e.g. Western diet) Human studies have shown an increase in gut bacterial translocation in mood disorders.6,7 For example, in major depressive disorder there are significant increases in Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria and decreases in Firmicutes compared to controls. The benefits of ketogenic diets for controlling severe epilepsy may be mediated by the gut microbiome, as the effects can be reproduced in animal models by direct manipulation of gut bacterial enterotypes without changing diet.
