Two gut bacteria play unexpected role in multiple sclerosis

Two specific gut bacteria appear to play an unexpected role in multiple sclerosis. Futura reports this in a recent article. The exact way in which these bacteria influence the disease is still unclear.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the protective layer around nerve fibers. This can cause various symptoms, including fatigue, walking disorders and vision problems. Researchers are paying increasing attention to the role of the microbiome in this condition.

The findings are in line with previous studies that linked gut health to neurological disorders. However, much is still unknown about how bacteria exactly influence the course of multiple sclerosis. More research is needed to further investigate these connections.
