Summary
This observational study looks at whether bacteria in the mouth can influence the stability of plaques in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. Researchers will collect samples from 200 adults scheduled for carotid surgery to compare the bacteria found in their mouth, gut, and artery plaques. The goal is to identify microbial patterns linked to higher stroke risk, which could lead to better risk prediction in the future. No treatments or medications are being tested.
