摘要
Multiple sclerosis(MS)is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system(CNS)that has both inflammatory and neurodegenerative com ponents.Both genetic and environmental factors confer risk for developing the disease.Additionally,gut microbiota appears to play an important role in the risk for MS and potentially also in affecting disease severity,though our understanding of these interactions are still incomplete(Bhargava and Mowry,2014).
