Specific toxins, including <em>Clostridium perfringens</em> epsilon toxin, <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> superantigens, and <em>Chlamydia pneumoniae</em> heat shock proteins, demonstrate distinct pathogenic mechanisms in promoting CNS inflammation. Crucially, several toxins disrupt BBB integrity, making it easier for immune cells and cytokines that promote inflammation to enter the CNS and exacerbate neural inflammation. Furthermore, through molecular mimicry and epitope dissemination, bacterial antigens can initiate cross-reacting immune responses that may lead to autoimmune attacks on myelin. This review highlights the complex interplay between bacterial toxins, immune modulation, and genetic susceptibility in MS. Understanding these toxin-mediated pathways reveals the complex interplay between the microbiome and MS pathogenesis, potentially leading to novel therapeutic interventions targeting bacterial contributions to autoimmune neurodegeneration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100667,"journal":{"name":"Infectious Medicine","volume":"4 4","pages":"Article 100219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145693816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
