The Salivary Microbiome Is Altered in Children With Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Correlates With Disease Activity

Abstract

The composition of the salivary microbiome community structure can be altered in children with EoE. A relative abundance of Haemophilus positively correlates with the disease activity. These findings indicate that perturbations in the salivary microbiome may have a role in EoE pathobiology and could serve as a noninvasive marker of disease activity.
