Ectopic gut colonization: a metagenomic study of the oral and gut microbiome in Crohn ’s disease

ConclusionsThere was evidence of ectopic gut colonization by oral bacteria, especially during the active phase of CD. Previously studied gut microbial differences were detected, in addition to novel associations which could have resulted from geographical/ethnic differences to subjects of European descent. Differences in microbial pathways provide possible targets for microbiome modification.
