加州理工學院研究人員發現益生菌可醫治自閉症兒

加州理工學院（Cal Tech）研究人員發現，自閉症兒童的種種反常行為與孩子腸胃（gastrointestinal ）相關，自閉症也許可以用益生菌（probiotic）方法治療。科學家們在患有自閉症的老鼠身上注射一種名為「脆弱擬桿菌 」（Bacteroides fragilis ）的對人體有益的細菌，這種細菌有助於人體的新陳代謝以及腸壁和血液系統的交換活動，注射後，老鼠不但腸胃問題得到解決，自閉症症狀也減輕。

科學家將帶有慢性便秘、慢性腹瀉以及胃食道逆流病三種病症的病毒以及自閉症病毒注射入懷孕的鼠體內，導致鼠產生病毒感染症狀，而且生下小鼠具有自閉症狀。科學家因此認為，如果孕婦懷孕期間經歷過病毒感染，那麼孩子患有自閉症的風險就比較高。

目前該研究中心, 正在向食品和藥品管理局（FDA）申請實驗，將脆弱擬桿菌用於治療自閉症症狀。
