摘要

Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS) is a metabolic condition where microbiota dysbiosis undergoes ethanolic fermentation within the gastrointestinal tract. Because the microbial ethanolic fermentation of dietary carbohydrates occurs entirely within the host’s gastrointestinal tract, resulting ethanol is referred as “endogenous” while the gut dysbiosis in ABS can rise from multiple fungal or bacterial species. The pathophysiology of ABS is frequently linked to shifts in gut microbiota composition often arising from antibiotics use, high carbohydrate diets, or an underlying immunological or metabolic condition. In this review, the mechanisms behind microbial endogenous ethanol production, the connection between gut, liver, brain, and microbial ethanol-producing routes are examined. Treatments for ABS have been evaluated including antifungals, low-carbohydrate diets, probiotics, and faecal-microbiota transplantation. Lastly, the social, legal, and mental impacts of ABS have been discussed. It would be wise for future studies to develop customized microbiome approaches for detection and treatment guided by omics and AI technologies.
