My takeaway on this article is that there is the potential for bacteria in your gut, or bacteria that are a regular part of your gut flora that is, that produce toxins.

That certainly could drive symptoms so many of us with CFS experience.

Bacteria pass and receive genetic material from other bacteria. They help each other survive. Altered gut bacteria is one of the ideas that arises from time to time in CFS and ME. It can also include the impact of viruses that infect bacteria.
