Very interesting finding, though since it's only found in 20% of people with RA they studied it's clearly not the only culprit. It seems more clear with each new study that autoimmune diseases like RA are more of umbrella conditions than specific diseases (and I suspect largely microbial in pathogenesis). RA has also been associated with Prevotella copri [1] and Porphyromonas gingivalis [2]. Exciting discovery nonetheless, and hopefully can help lead to better outcomes for people struggling with RA.
