[1.2] [#Actinomyces odontolyticus] [#Amyloid-beta] - oral inoculation of A. meyeri, as opposed to A. odontolyticus and #Neisseria elongate, led to proinflammatory myeloid cell infiltration in the brain (associated with long-term memory decline) and a robust increase in cortical Aβ plaques (averaging a 120% increase) in C57/B6 mice [#Alzheimer’s disease] - #Actinomycetia, a class-level bacteria of A. meyeri, and #Actinomyces, a genus-level bacteria of A. meyeri, have been found to be increased in the brain of AD patientsReferences Notes[ ]
