Cocaine-Enriched Oral Streptococcus parasanguinis Promotes Neuroimmune Dysfunction and Memory Impairment

Douglas Johnson, Tabinda Salman, Arshad Ali Noorani…·Wei Jiang

This study shows that cocaine promotes growth of Streptococcus parasanguinis, which leads to neuroinflammation and memory impairment in mice without bacterial translocation.

Douglas E. Johnson, Kamala P. Sundararaj, Suganya Subramanian…·Wei Jiang

This study shows that cocaine use disorder is associated with oral microbial dysbiosis and selective microbial translocation from saliva to blood.
