Subgingival microbiome of rheumatoid arthritis patients in relation to their disease status and periodontal healthSubgingival microbiome in rheumatoid arthritis reveals microbial community shifts driven by disease activity, smoking, and treatment. Prednisolone use correlates with healthier profiles, while smoking promotes dysbiosis, highlighting microbial biomarkers for A management.

Variations in oral microbiome profiles in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis with potential biomarkers for arthritis screeningThis study identifies oral microbiome biomarkers for arthritis screening, distinguishing A from A using salivary microbial profiles. It highlights Prevotella and Veillonella in A and Rothia and Streptococcus in A, supporting microbiome-based diagnostics.

An expansion of rare lineage intestinal microbes characterizes rheumatoid arthritisRheumatoid arthritis gut microbiome dysbiosis is marked by Collinsella expansion and Faecalibacterium loss, disrupting gut barrier function and promoting inflammation. These findings reveal potential diagnostic biomarkers and mechanistic pathways for microbiome-targeted interventions.

Oral status in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis: a prospective, case-control studyThis study shows that the oral microbiota in early rheumatoid arthritis includes enriched Tannerella forsythia and Streptococcus anginosus, correlating with increased periodontal attachment loss. These findings suggest early microbial dysbiosis may influence A pathogenesis and serve as diagnostic biomarkers or targets for preventive care.

Periodontal disease and the oral microbiota in new-onset rheumatoid arthritisOral microbiota in new-onset rheumatoid arthritis shows unique enrichment of Prevotella, Leptotrichia, and Anaeroglobus, independent of periodontitis severity. These taxa may act as microbial triggers or biomarkers for autoimmunity, suggesting the oral microbiome’s relevance in A onset and potential for diagnostic or therapeutic targeting.
