Dysbiosis in SKG mice reflects human SpA and is IL-23p19 dependent. In genetically susceptible hosts, IL-23p19 favours outgrowth of SpA-associated pathobionts and reduces support for homeostatic-inducing microbiota. The relative abundance of specific pathobionts is associated with disease severity.
