    A recent new study suggests that veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have a specific group of bacteria in their saliva, which may help diagnose


    Researchers at Tel Aviv University and Haifa University in Israel recently published a study


    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common disease and a growing public health problem


    To discover objective biomarkers, the research team conducted the study against a group of Israeli veterans who fought in the 1982 Lebanon War


    The researchers performed noninvasive oral RNA sequencing analysis after taking samples of the participants' saliva and compared


    RNA sequencing results showed that the severity of PTSD correlated with the microbial characteristics of saliva


    These results define the bacterial characteristics of PTSD, may help in the future diagnosis of the disease, and provide potential drug targets for PTSD treatment in order to reduce the severity


    Corresponding author Ilana Gozes of Tel Aviv University said: "With this study, it is possible in the future to use objective molecular and biological characteristics to distinguish between patients with PSTD and to consider environmental impacts
