Oral-gut microbiome interactions in advanced cirrhosis: characterisation of pathogenic enterotypes and salivatypes, virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cirrhosis complications are often triggered by bacterial infections with multidrug-resistant organisms. Alterations in the gut and oral microbiome in decompensated cirrhosis (DC) influence clinical outcomes. We interrogated: (i) gut and oral microbiome community structures, (ii) virulence factors (VFs) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and (iii) oral-gut microbial overlap in patients...
