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.
