Article Synopsis
- Several studies have shown that people with Parkinson's disease (PD) have a unique gut microbiome, but there's limited research on the oral microbiome's role in PD.
- By using advanced shotgun metagenomic sequencing, researchers found significant differences in the oral and gut microbiome between PD patients and healthy individuals.
- Notably, PD patients had higher levels of Lactobacillus in their mouths, which correlated with harmful gut bacteria, and their microbiome showed reduced gene markers for certain amino acid production but increased markers for antimicrobial resistance.
