People with multiple sclerosis found to have dysbiotic oral microbiome

With ads everywhere for pro- or pre-biotic foods and supplements, most people are familiar with the gut microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that colonize our digestive tract-and the idea that keeping our gut microbiome healthy improves our overall health.

Multiple sclerosis linked with distinct oral microbiome

With ads everywhere for pro- or pre-biotic foods and supplements, most people are familiar with the gut microbiome—the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that colonize our digestive tract—and the idea that keeping our gut microbiome healthy improves our overall health. But other areas of our bodies harbor their own unique microbiomes as well, and researchers are now starting to explore the role these microbial ecosystems play in health an…

People With Multiple Sclerosis Have Distinct Oral Microbiome, Study Shows

A greater understanding of the association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and the oral microbiome may lead to less invasive dialogistic markers and novel treatment options for patients, according to this recent study by researchers at the University of Iowa Health Care.

Oral Bacteria May Drive Multiple Sclerosis

Scientists have found that people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a distinctly imbalanced oral microbiome—marked by a loss of beneficial bacteria and a rise in inflammation-linked microbes. Using advanced genetic and metabolic profiling, researchers revealed that saliva from MS patients also had lower levels of hypotaurine, a molecule that supports antioxidant defense and nerve health.

Changes in Oral Microbiome Linked to Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

New study shows oral microbiome imbalance and reduced salivary hypotaurine may contribute to neuroinflammation in relapsing-remitting MS.
