Gut dysbiosis narrative in psoriasis: matched-pair approach identifies only subtle shifts correlated with elevated fecal calprotectin
With sufficient taxonomic resolution and sample size, this study critically evaluates new and published data on the gut microbiome in psoriasis patients. It shows that observed taxonomic changes in patients are modest and do not meet strict criteria for gut dysbiosis, at least in the large intestine. Instead, observed taxonomic changes in psoriasis patients can be explained by the microbial response to possible low-grade inflammation with unknown localization in the intestine and unclear impact on the host. The authors point out that published endoscopic data point to the small intestine as the site of gut inflammation. Therefore, further research focused on the small intestine would be informative to clarify the hypothetical gut-psoriasis link.
