Abstract:
The gut microbiome has been implicated in inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory arthritis, but a head-to-head analysis of which microbes are associated with which types of inflammatory arthritis remains to be shown. Here, Thompson et al . analyzed the microbiome of 221 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis, as well as 219 healthy controls. The authors found taxa-level alterations that were shared across the inflammatory arthritis phenotypes and further identified microbiome-driven functional pathways that associated with inflammatory disease. Together, these data expand our understanding of how the functions of the gut microbiome may influence inflammation in humans. —Courtney Malo
