periodontal pathogenic bacteria aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans affect non alcoholic fatty liver disease by altering gut microbiota and glucose metabolism

Given the infectious nature of periodontal disease, patients with the disease show elevated IgG antibody titers against periodontopathic bacteria. In addition, gut microbiota appear to mediate development and progression of NAFLD14,15,16. In the present study, we first examined the relationship between periodontal disease and NAFLD by measuring IgG antibody titers to periodontopathic bacteria in NAFLD...
