Changes in gut bacteria variety and amount in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis compared to healthy people

Updated

Abstract

Patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) have distinct gut microbiota compared to healthy controls.

  • The composition of gut bacteria may differ significantly between individuals with RRMS and healthy individuals.
  • Escherichia coli virulence-associated genes are analyzed to understand their distribution in RRMS patients.
  • Gut microbiota is increasingly associated with immune regulation and potentially influences the development of multiple sclerosis.
  • The study aims to provide insights into the relationship between gut bacteria and multiple sclerosis pathogenesis.
