Bacterial signature in retrieved thrombi of patients with acute ischemic stroke—a systematic review
Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) imposes a major healthcare burden. It is hypothesized that bacterial infection could influence atherosclerosis and thrombus formation, potentially contributing to AIS. Objectives: We aim to systematically review all studies that have investigated the presence...

| description | Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) imposes a major healthcare burden. It is hypothesized that bacterial infection could influence atherosclerosis and thrombus formation, potentially contributing to AIS. Objectives: We aim to systematically review all studies that have investigated the presence of bacterial signatures within thrombi retrieved following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) procedures in patients with AIS. Design: This systematic review is designed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 checklist. Data sources and methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Sciences, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases to identify relevant studies. Results: The literature search and screening included 11 studies involving 674 patients, with 414 (61.4%) being male and 260 (38.6%) females. Among all the patients, 393 (58.3%) were positive for bacterial presence in their retrieved thrombi. The most utilized technique for bacterial signature detection was bacterial DNA extraction followed by polymerase chain reaction amplification of the 16S rRNA gene sequence. Staphylococcus aureus was the most studied bacteria among the studies analyzed. Conclusion: Bacterial infections and the presence of bacteria within thrombi may significantly contribute to AIS by initiating or exacerbating atherosclerosis or thrombosis. Understanding the mechanisms by which bacteria affect vascular health is crucial for developing effective preventive and therapeutic strategies for stroke patients. |
