Gut Microbiome in Psoriasis is Perturbed Differently During Secukinumab and Ustekinumab Therapy and Associated with Response to Treatment

ConclusionThese results indicate that gut microbiome is altered differently after anti-IL17 and anti-IL12/23 treatment. Secukinumab (anti-IL17) therapy is associated with distinct and more profound gut microbiome shifts than ustekinumab therapy (anti-IL 12/23) in patients with psoriasis. Moreover, gut microbiome would serve as potential biomarkers of response to secukinumab treatment.
