Rodent models have provided insights into potential mechanisms by uncovering microbial influences and immune pathways that either connect or uncouple gut and joint inflammation. Based on recent findings, we propose the 'immune hypersensitivity hypothesis' whereby central immune hyper-reactivity can independently drive joint inflammation via local sterile triggers, and gut inflammation via microbial triggers. We argue that this suggests a more nuanced role of the microbiota in arthritis pathogenesis that varies according to the predominant immune mechanisms in disease subtypes.
