Abstract:
:The key to arthritis management is early diagnosis and treatment to prevent further joint destruction and maximize functional ability. Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are two common types of arthritis that the primary care provider must differentiate, in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Effective and non-invasive strategies for early detection and disease identification are sorely needed. Growing evidence suggests that RA has a correlation with oral microbiome and may be affected by its dynamic variations. There is already a study comparing oral microbiome in patients with RA and OA, however, it did not screen for potential biomarkers for arthritis. In this study, we assessed the oral microbiome in saliva samples from 110 RA patients, 67 OA patients and 155 healthy subjects, using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The structure and differences in oral microbiome between RA, OA and healthy subjects were analyzed. Eight oral bacterial biomarkers were identified to differentiate RA from OA. This report provides proof of oral microbiota as an informative source for discovering non-invasive biomarkers for arthritis screening.
