Abstract: The present invention relates to an Agathobaculum sp. strain having prophylactic or therapeutic effects on autism spectrum disorders, and use thereof. When the intestinal microorganism Agathobaculum sp. strain of the present invention was orally administered to valproic acid (VPA)-induced autism model mice and BTBR autism model mice, the effects of remarkably improving autism spectrum disorders including repetitive behaviors, hyperactivity, social deficiency and cognitive/memory dysfunction of the mice were observed, as compared with a non-treated control. Accordingly, it may be usefully applied to foods, drugs, or feeds for preventing or treating autism spectrum disorders, and thus is very useful in the relevant industries.

Abstract: Provided are an Agathobaculum sp. strain having prophylactic or therapeutic effects on degenerative brain diseases, and use thereof. Since the intestinal microorganism Agathobaculum butyriciproducens SR79 strain of the present invention may have effects of inhibiting neuroinflammation and effects of improving movement regulation and cognitive and memory functions in animal models with degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, the strain may be effectively used in foods, medicines, or feeds for preventing or treating brain diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, mild cognitive impairment, etc., and therefore, it is very useful in the relevant industries.
