| Description |
An infectious trigger for giant cell arteritis (GCA) has been considered but no organism has conclusively been linked to GCA. We have previously presented data at NANOS linking GCA to a strain of bacteria. We performed confirmatory experiments to determine if GCA is caused by a bacterial infection. We cultured superficial temporal artery biopsies (STABs) and analyzed the cultures for bacterial growth. We also used 16S rRNA sequencing technology to identify bacterial genomic sequences in STABs. |
