Depletion of key gut bacteria predicts disrupted bile acid metabolism in inflammatory bowel disease by Daniel Peterson, Christopher Weidenmaier, Sonia Timberlake, Rotem Gura Sadovsky

“…These un-isolated clades of BA-transforming bacteria merit further research; as beyond their prevalence in the human population, we found some cases in which they engrafted in IBD patients who had undergone fecal microbiota transplantation and experienced a clinical response.IMPORTANCEIn this paper, we identify specific bacteria that perform an important metabolic function in the human gut and demonstrate that in the guts of a large subset of patients with IBD, these bacteria are missing and the function is defective. …”
