Abstract

The bacteria Proteus, Serratia, Escherichia and Pseudomonas possess sequences resembling the rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility sequence EQRRAA, but antibodies were elevated only to Proteus in 66 RA patients (P < 0.001) when compared to 61 active ankylosing spondylitis patients and 60 controls.
