Distinct microbial signatures and their predictive value in recurrent acute pancreatitis: insights from 5-region 16S rRNA gene sequencing
BackgroundRecurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) poses significant clinical challenges, with 32.3% developing to chronic pancreatitis within 5 years.The underlying microbial factors contributing to RAP remain poorly understood.This study aims to identify blood microbial signatures associated with RAP and explore the potential microbial predictors for R
