Could Alzheimer’s begin in your mouth? Research uncovers a potential bacterial trigger
Recent research links Alzheimer's disease to bacterial gum infections, specifically the pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. This discovery suggests that early brain infection with P. gingivalis could contribute to Alzheimer's development, offering potential for new treatments targeting the bacteria's toxic proteins.
