Evidence is accumulating for a role of intestinal dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of several spondyloarthropathies, including psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Newly published evidence now reveals a discrete microbial signature in the terminal ileum of patients with AS, versus healthy controls. “This finding is consistent with AS being



Sadly, not a freeby, BUT, put in a search under the title, and bingo, a raft of similar titles and info appears...

* "It is possible that the
changes we observed are due to effects of
AS itself on the gut microbial profile, or
that immunogenetic associations of AS
affect the microbial profile in a manner
independent of the mechanisms by which
it causes AS"
