This study aimed to identify key gut microbial interaction networks in MSA through comprehensive multimodal analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Demographic information and frozen fecal specimens were collected from 119 participants [MSA, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 26; Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD), <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 66; healthy control (HC), <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 27]. Raw amplicons of the bacterial 16S rRNA V3\u2013V4 gene region were processed using two methods: DADA2-denoising and clustering into operational taxonomic units. We conducted univariate and multivariable analyses to assess the differential abundance of bacterial genera and predicted metabolic pathways using four statistical methods: ANCOM, ANCOM-BC, ALDEx2, and MaAsLin 2. Interbacterial interactions were assessed using four correlation and two network analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We consistently observed lower levels of <jats:italic>Fusicatenibacter<\/jats:italic> in MSA patients and lower levels of <jats:italic>Butyricicoccus<\/jats:italic> in PD patients compared with HCs (q &amp;lt; 0.05), both before and after adjusting for comorbidities, diet, and constipation status. The random forest classifiers effectively differentiated between MSA and PD, achieving high AUCs (0.75\u20130.78) in 5-fold cross-validation. A significant positive interbacterial interaction between <jats:italic>Ruminococcus gnavus<\/jats:italic> group and <jats:italic>Erysipelatoclostridium<\/jats:italic> was uniquely observed in MSA patients. Additionally, we identified an increase in the ARGORNPROST-PWY pathway (L-arginine degradation, q = 0.003) and a decrease in the PWY-6478 pathway (GDP-D-glycero-\u03b1-D-manno-heptose biosynthesis, q = 0.015) in MSA patients compared with HCs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Future studies are warranted to determine whether fecal microbiome-derived signatures can serve as reliable biomarkers for MSA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2025.1623165","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,13]],"date-time":"2025-08-13T05:35:16Z","timestamp":1755063316000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Altered gut microbial networks and metabolic pathways in multiple system atrophy: a comparative 16S rRNA study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Po-Chun","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shao-Ying","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chih-Chi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Ke","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yufeng Jane","family":"Tseng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming-Che","family":"Kuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"522","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms10030522","article-title":"Limosilactobacillus reuteri in health and disease.","volume":"10","author":"Abuqwider","year":"2022","journal-title":"Microorganisms"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1186\/s13024-021-00427-6","article-title":"Relationships of gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids, inflammation, and the gut barrier in Parkinson\u2019s disease.","volume":"16","author":"Aho","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mol.
