“…The local effects of the PAMPs can also include increased corrosion of titanium surfaces, which in turn can increase PAMP binding to the surface [6]. Alternatively, gut-derived PAMPs could induce chronic low-level inflammation systemically [14,18,25,28,42,52,63,70,71,84,101,115], as appears to occur in the synovium during rheumatoid arthritis [12,106]. In this regard, it has recently been proposed that systemic low-level inflammation may contribute to aseptic loosening [81].…”
