Description
Katzenelson and eight colleagues compare microbes in the appendix and mouth of children with appendicitis in twenty twenty-six. The microbiome is thought to play a central role in how appendicitis develops. The team studied twenty children under twelve, split into simple and complicated cases. Samples came from saliva and from appendix tissue scrapings.
In complicated cases, three bacterial groups were more abundant in the appendix than in the mouth. No such gap appeared in simple cases. Appendix levels of one group correlated strongly with mouth levels of all studied bacteria. Tooth decay status was alike in the two groups. The authors suggest a link between oral and appendix bacteria across disease phases. Worse disease tracked with larger microbial shifts.
