Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction Recent studies have challenged the idea of sterile blood, suggesting the presence of a blood microbiome. The detection of microbial nucleic acids in blood is thought to reflect the status of distant microbial niches, including the gut. However, the origins and viability of these microbes remain debated. In this study, blood microbiome signatures in Parkinson's disease (PD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were evaluated by extracting RNA‐sequencing (RNA‐seq) reads that did not map to the human genome. Furthermore, we investigated the correlat
