Gut Microbiota Perturbations in Reactive Arthritis and Post ‐Infectious Spondyloarthritis

ConclusionThis is the first culture‐independent study characterizing the gut microbial community of post‐infectious arthritis. Although bacterial factors correlated with disease presence and clinical features of ReA, host genetics also appeared to be a major independent driver of intestinal community composition. Understanding of these gut microbiota host‐genetic relationships may further clarify the pathogenesis of post‐infectious spondyloarthropathies.This article is protected by copyright.
