    Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune disorder characterized by immune-mediated damage to peripheral nerves.

  • 2

    The gut microbiota influences GBS pathogenesis through microbial metabolites that modulate immune responses and neuroinflammation.

  • 3

    Dysbiosis can lead to increased systemic inflammation and autoantibody production, contributing to GBS severity.

  • 4

    Microbiota-targeted therapies, including probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation, show promise as adjuncts to traditional immunotherapy.

  • 5

    Future research should focus on integrating microbiomic and immunologic profiling to enhance personalized treatment strategies for GBS.
