Oral microbioma in several autoimmune diseases.

Disease Microbiota Changes References
Rheumatoid arthritis Veillonella increased in saliva of RA; Lactobacillus salivarius overrepresented in saliva, mostly in very active disease; Atopobium spp., Cryptobacillum curtum enriched in saliva and dental plaque
Rothia mucilaginosa-like enriched in dental plaque and saliva; R. dentocariosa enriched in dental plaque
Butyrivibrio spp., Atopobium parvulum, Prevotella spp., Solobaterium moorei, Centipeda sp., Veillonella spp., in RA
Anaeroglobus geminatus correlated with ACPA and rheumatoid factor in saliva
Hemophilus spp. depleted
[95,101,102]
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis Solobacterium, Mogibacterium and TM7-G1 enriched in saliva [105]
Ankylosing spondylitis Brucella spp. and Campylobacter concisus, Clostridia such as Veillonellaceae increased in saliva
Streptococcus depleted in saliva
[97,113]
The saliva of AS patients enriched in Veillonella spp., Brucella spp., Campylobacter concisus and depleted in Streptococcus spp. [113]
Sjogren’s syndrome Lactobacillus spp., S. mutans, Candida albicans increased in supragingival plaque
Fusobacterium decreases on the tongue
Capnocytophaga ochracea derived microbial peptides can activate Ro60-reactive T cells
[109,118]
Systemic lupus erythematosus Fretibacterium, Prevotella nigrescens, Selenomonas spp. are increased, associated with local release of IL-6, IL-17, IL-33
Lactobacillae, Veillonaceae and Moraxellaceae increased, while Corynebacteriaceae, Micrococcaceae, Sphingomonadaceae, Halomonadaceae and Xanthomonadaceae decreased
[111,119]
Systemic scle rosis Lactobacillus spp. are reduced significantly on the tongue, the oral mucosa, mainly in the diffuse form of disease [92]
Behçet’s disease Streptococcus spp. increased on oral mucosa, in saliva and dental plaque, Rothia dentocariosa increased in non-ulcer sites
Hemophilus parainfluenzae increased in saliva
Bifidobacter dentium, Prevotella histicola, Candida albicans increased in saliva in active disease
Alloprevotella rava, Campylobacter concisus, Clostridiales spp. Neisseria spp. depleted in the saliva
[116,117,120]
Henoch-Schön lein purpura Higher oral microbial diversity and richness, with dominance of Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes [121]
