Brief summary

The relationship between the gut microbiota and stress is poorly studied in humans. In this study we aim to look for if stressed persons have different levels of key bacterial groups compared to the levels in non-stressed persons.

Detailed description

The gut microbial flora will be analyzed with molecular genetic methods. Stress will be measured with cortisol levels in saliva and with questionnaire.
