Abstract

The impact of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on the shaping of the oral and gut microbiome raises the question of whether and how RA treatment modifies microbial communities. We examined changes in the oral and gut microbiota in a mouse model of antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) treated or not with methotrexate (MTX).
