Swallowed oral bacteria surviving in increased intragastric pH may play a carcinogenic role. Oral microbiota was linked to increased GC risk. In AIG, the concomitant assessment of oral and gastric microbiota has not yet been performed. This study aimed to investigate the oral and gastric microbiota in AIG patients to clarify the role of oral bacteria in gastric dysbiosis. A case\u2013control study on n = 20 histologically diagnosed AIG patients and n = 20 controls without AIG is conducted. Saliva samples were obtained from subjects who were fasting and without toothbrushing. Within 1 h, gastroscopy with biopsies (for histopathology and DNA extraction) was performed. Saliva (n = 40) and biopsy (n = 40) samples were frozen at \u221220 \u00b0C. DNA was extracted and prepared; paired-end sequencing was performed (IlluminaMiSeq-sequencer, San Diego, CA, USA). Bacterial abundance in biopsies was higher in AIG than in controls (p = 0.06), but was not different in the saliva (p = 0.54) samples. In biopsies, AIG showed a lower Shannon-Index than controls (p = 0.001). In saliva studies, AIG showed a higher Shannon-Index than controls (p = 0.0). In biopsies, Streptococcus oralis, Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum, Veillonella rogosae, and Gemella sanguinis were more frequent in AIG (p &lt; 0.03). The most abundantly shared taxa between saliva and biopsy were S. oralis and Prevotella histicola; Gemella sanguinis, Fusobacterium pseudoperidonticum, and Veillonella rogosae were shared in AIG patients only. This study confirmed gastric dysbiosis in AIG. Oral taxa were more commonly associated with AIG and shared between the mouth and the stomach. In AIG, the oral microbiota is associated with gastric dysbiosis, highlighting the importance of oral eubiosis in patients with impaired gastric acid secretion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms14040789","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]],"date-time":"2026-03-31T08:09:18Z","timestamp":1774944558000},"page":"789","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Concomitant
