Fungal Microbiota Profile in Newly Diagnosed Treatment-naïve Children with Crohn’s Disease

Abstract

We report highly significant fungal dysbiosis in newly diagnosed treatment-naïve CD children. Depleted and more abundant taxa suggest anti-inflammatory and pro-inflamatory potentials, respectively. Further studies with larger sample size and including functional analysis are needed to clarify the significance of the fungal community in the pathogenesis of CD.
