Scientists have discovered for the first time that bacteria responsible for bleeding gums can be transmitted from the mouth to the brain and thus increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life.
Scientists have discovered the signs of this bacterium causing gum disease in the brain of 51 study participants in 53 with Alzheimer's disease, the Daily Mail reported.
The study was led by the American company Cortexim, which states that porphyronas gum plays a central role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
The results suggest that those who brush their teeth properly can reduce the risk of dementia.
"We know that diseases such as Alzheimer's disease are complex and have many different causes, but strong genetic evidence suggests that factors other than bacterial infections are at the root of the development of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's, "said Dr. David Reynolds, Scientific Director of Alzheimer's Research University in Britain. Context of this research in progress ".
The damage in brain memory centers of these mice could explain earlier evidence that people with long-term gum disease were 70% more likely to develop dementia.
Scientists now believe that bacteria can cause Alzheimer's disease in humans after discovering the toxic enzymes they produce in the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and diagnosed rodent games.
It was thought that oral bacteria could cross the blood by penetrating the cells believed to protect the brain and spread over the brain for several years.
