The effect of bacterial composition shifts in the oral microbiota on Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurological disorder, despite significant advances in medical science, has not yet been definitively cured, and the exact causes of the disease remain unclear. Due to the importance of AD in the clinic, large expenses are spent annually to deal with this neurological disorder, and neurologists warn of an alarm to increase this disease in the elderly people in the near future. It has been believed that microbiota dysbiosis lead to Alzheimer’s as a multi-step disease. In this regard, the presence of footprints of perturbations in the oral microbiome and the predominance of pathogenic bacteria and their effect on the nervous system especially AD is a very interesting topic that has been considered by researchers in the last decade. Some studies have looked at the mechanisms by which oral microbiota cause AD. However, many aspects of this interaction are still unclear as to how oral microbiota composition can contribute to this disease. Understanding this interaction requires extensive collaboration by interdisciplinary researchers to explore all aspects of the issue. So, in this review has attempted to give the mechanisms of shift of oral microbiota in AD in order to reveals the link between microbiota composition and this disease with the help of researchers from different fields.
