Influence of the Gut Microbiome in Ischemic Stroke Risk and Ischemic Stroke Outcome

Dr. Miquel Lledós from the Biomedical Research Institute Sant Pau, Spain will join the Targeting Microbiota 2022 Congress and give a presentation entitled "Influence of the Gut Microbiome in Ischemic Stroke Risk and Ischemic Stroke Outcome".

We performed shotgun metagenomics sequencing to analyse the taxonomic profiles in ischemic stroke patients. We aimed to identify microbiota taxa associated with: risk of ischemic stroke, neurological outcome in the acute phase at 6h and 24h (classified with the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as mild, moderate or severe stroke), and functional outcome at 3 months measured with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). We found multiple new taxonomic profiles associated with stroke, revealing that gut microbiome could be an important factor associated with stroke risk and stroke acute and long-term outcome.

Join Dr. Lledós in Targeting Microbiota 2022 to benefit from his experience and expand your knowledge about the link between the microbiota and stroke.
