We assessed the microbiota as potentially biomarkers for ID for ID by 16S rDNA sequencing and elucidated the interactions involving gut microbiota, oral microbiota and serum metabolites in ID in conjunction with untargeted metabolomics.Results: Gut and oral microbiota of IDs were dysbiotic. Gut and oral microbial biomarkers could be used to differentiate IDs from HCs. Eleven significantly altered serum metabolites, including adenosine, phenol, and phenol sulfate, differed significantly between groups. In multi-omics analyses, adenosine showed a positive correlation with genus_Lachnospira (p= 0.029) and total sleep time (p=0.016). Additionally, phenol and phenol sulphate had a negative correlation with genus_Coprococcus (p=0.0059; p=0.0059) and a positive correlation with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (p=0.006; p=0.006) and Insomnia Severity Index (p=0.021; p=0.021).Conclusion: Microbiota and serum metabolite changes in IDs are strongly correlated with clinical parameters, implying mechanistic links between altered bacteria, serum metabolites and ID. This study offers novel perspective into the interaction among gut microbiota, oral microbiota, and serum metabolites for ID.Keywords: insomnia disorder, gut microbiota, oral microbiota, serum metabolites, multi-omics, biomarkers
