For the first time, researchers have found higher levels of Gram-negative bacteria antigens in brain samples from late-onset Alzheimer’s disease patients.

In addition, the research team also found LPS molecules congregated with amyloid plaques, which have been linked to Alzheimer’s pathology and progression.
