Racial Differences in Plasma Microbial Translocation and Plasma Microbiome, Implications in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Pathogenesis.

This study reveals racial differences in both quality and quantity of plasma microbial translocation and identified specific plasma microbiome differences associated with SLE disease pathogenesis. Thus, this study may provide new insights into future potential microbiome therapies on SLE pathogenesis.
