The cause of Multiple Sclerosis is still unknown. However, past studies have shown the possibility of MS bacteria to exist. The Multiple Sclerosis bacteria which might be responsible for some episodes of autoimmune activity are gut bacteria. These microorganisms occur naturally within the human body, but could easily be a trigger for MS. Researchers are still working on studying this bacteria and the way it is able to mimic other infections that cause the immune system to overreact. Such molecular mimics are thought to be rare. Gut bacteria seems to contain many immunogen mimics, thus making it highly probably that this every day bacteria found in the human body could be the cause for some cases of MS.
Researchers hope to continue to study gut bacteria and its affect on the human immune system so as to figure out if there truly is a connection between the bacteria and Multiple …
