Abstrakt: Importance: One of the most-cited examples of the gut microbiome modulating human disease is the microbial metabolism of quaternary amines from protein-rich foods. By-products of this microbial processing promote atherosclerotic heart disease, a leading cause of human mortality globally. Our research addresses current knowledge gaps in our understanding of this microbial metabolism by holistically inventorying the microorganisms and expressed genes catalyzing critical atherosclerosis-promoting and -ameliorating reactions in the human gut. This led to the creation of an open-access resource, the Methylated Amine Gene Inventory of Catabolism database, the first systematic inventory of gut methylated amine metabolism. More importantly, using this resource we deliver here, we show for the first time that these gut microbial genes can predict human disease, paving the way for microbiota-inspired diagnostics and interventions.
