A new study analysing the oral and intestinal bacterial composition of a population of Italian ME/CFS patients also has an interesting angle to it in comparing the microbiota of these patients to both other relatives without ME/CFS who live with the patient, and a healthy control group.
Some of the concluding remarks were interesting too:
[ The present study reports alterations in the composition of both the fecal and salivary microbiota of CFS/ME patients, with more marked differences observed in the gut. We have confirmed the results of previous studies, and provided new information in support of the autoimmune hypothesis for CFS condition. The intestinal microbial profile we recorded in CFS/ME patients is indeed consistent with that reported for other autoimmune conditions, such as Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Systemic Lupus Erythematous.]
