The Fungal Connection: Gut Mycobiome and Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demy-elinating disease of the central nervous system with unclear etiology, influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies have highlighted a potential role of the gut microbiome in MS, with a specific focus on the bacterial components. However, the impact of the gut mycobiota-the fungal community, on immune function and disease remains underexplored.
