Abstract: The invention provides for methods of treating autism associated with Desulfovibrio overgrowth in the gastrointestinal tract of a patient, said method comprising administering to the patient suffering from said autism a treatment course of aztreonam in an amount effective to treat autism in the patient, thereby treating autism.

Abstract: The invention includes a method of diagnosis and treating autism associated with an overgrowth of beta2-toxin-gene-positive Clostridium perfringens in the gut of an autistic subject. In one embodiment, the method comprises administering to the subject (e.g. a subject having an overgrowth of beta2-toxin-gene-positive Clostridium perfringens in the gut) one or more agents to reduce or eliminate beta2-toxin-gene positive Clostridium perfringens in the subject so as to relieve one or more symptoms of autism.

Abstract: The invention includes a method of treating gastrointestinal diseases associated with species of genus Clostridium such as clostridium deficit in human patients with gastrointestinal disorders having an etiological component such as a microbial agent producing a toxin where treated with an antimicrobial composition an amount effective to inhibit or eliminate the microbial agent. The antimicrobial composition in a form of probiotic mixture can be administrated alone or in combination with an antimicrobial agent, such as a bacteriophage which is specific for a bacterium producing toxin or antibiotics which are then used to eliminate or inhibit the clostridial species overgrown in a patient's gastrointestinal tract. Disorders that can be treated by the method of the invention include diarrhea or inflammatory bowel diseases such as colitis or Crohn's disease.

Abstract: The invention includes a methods of treating or preventing a disease associated with an abnormal flora. The methods involves treating a patient suffering therefrom with an antimicrobial composition in an amount effective to inhibit or eliminate the bacteria. The antimicrobial composition can be an antibacterial agent and/or a probiotic mixture, and can be administrated alone or in combination. Disorders that can be treated by the present methods include Attention Deficit Disorder, Depression, biopolar disorder, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, Whipple's Disease, Tourette's Syndrome, Asperger's syndrome, Pervasive Development Disorder, early onset autism, Rhett's Syndrome, D-lactic acidosis, and schizophrenia. Gastrointestinal disorders can include antimicrobial associated diarrhea or inflamatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
