From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Enterococcus raffinosus has been identified as a pathogen in Homo sapiens and Felis catus with vancomycin-resistant strains (VRE) involved in hospital-acquired infections that cause Crohn's disease"

This is misleading.

A quote from the article sited is, "Although increased numbers of enterococci have been observed in both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), the effects of increasing enterococci on the origin or progress of IBD have yet to be determined."

So, bacterial and viral infections MAY cause Crohn's disease but scientists are still not sure. 170.173.74.50 (talk) 15:58, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
