Oral Microbial Diversity is Associated with Biologic Treatment and Metabolic Health Status but not with Disease Activity in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Oral microbial diversity is not associated with IBD disease activity or course but is positively influenced by biologic treatment. Higher fasting insulin, however, is associated with more diverse "unhealthy" oral microbiota. Within the limitations of this small study, oral microbiota may be a better marker of metabolic health than of IBD activity.
