Background: Although the etiology of aneurysms remains elusive, recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technology and ongoing human microbiome investigations suggest a potential link between microbiome composition and the onset of various human diseases.
Objective: This study aimed to utilize high-throughput 16 S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze the oral flora bacterial profiles of individuals, comparing patients with intracranial aneurysms to a healthy control group. Importantly, we sought to identify differences in the oral microbiota and offer novel insights and methods for early diagnosis and identification of intracranial aneurysms.
