New FSU College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences research shows a potential link between an infection caused by gut bacteria and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. The study is the first to show a direct correlation between Klebsiella pneumoniae infection and Alzheimer’s pathology, fueling the emerging field that investigates how infectious agents may trigger or aggravate the disease. The research found that K. pneumoniae — a common bacteria notorious for causing hospital-acquired infections — can migrate from the gut into the bloodstream and eventually into the brain. This bacterial invasion may lead to increased inflammation in the brain and impair cognitive functions, mimicking symptoms seen in Alzheimer’s patients. The work was published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases “Hospitalizations and ICU stays, combined with antibiotic exposure, may lead to a further decline in microbiome diversity that leaves older adults at high risk not only for digestive issues but also for extra-intestinal pathologies such as neurodegenerative disorders through a dysregulation of the gut-brain axis,” said Ravinder Nagpal, MSc, PhD, an assistant professor in the FSU College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences and the director of the Gut Biome Lab.
