Gut Bacteria Changes Before and After Stroke and Possible Treatments

Updated

Abstract

Ischemic stroke is linked to gut dysbiosis, which may be a risk factor for stroke onset.

  • The microbiota-gut-brain axis is emerging as a significant factor in the mechanisms of stroke.
  • Gut dysbiosis is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke.
  • Microbiota changes may occur during both acute and chronic phases of stroke.
  • Bidirectional communication between the gut and brain plays a role in stroke pathophysiology and recovery.
