Abstrakt: A recent study conducted at Kansas State University investigated the functions of gut microbial populations that contribute to persistent gut inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The researchers utilized an IBD mouse model and found that members of the Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus bacteria were highly detected in inflamed mice. These bacterial populations were found to utilize sulfur metabolism and sequester host nutrients for growth, which were associated with inflammation in the gut. The study suggests that these specific bacteria populations drive gut inflammation and over colonization in the dysbiotic colon. [Extracted from the article]
