Microbial dynamics of acute pancreatitis: integrating culture, sequencing, and bile impact on bacterial populations and gaseous metabolites by Agnieszka Chmielarczyk, Edyta Golińska, Anna Tomusiak-Plebanek, Natalia Żeber-Lubecka, Natalia Żeber-Lubecka, Maria Kulecka, Maria Kulecka, Antoni Szczepanik, Katarzyna Jedlińska, Krzysztof Mech, Konrad Szaciłowski, Agata Kuziak, Agata Pietrzyk, Magdalena Strus

“…Moreover, NGS verified the presence of the Fusobacteriota phylum and Fusobacteriaceae family only in rectal swabs, which may indicate a link between this type of bacteria and the etiology of diverticulitis. We observed that Escherichia coli 33 isolated from stool exhibited active gaseous metabolite production (mainly hydrogen).ConclusionsThe abundant production of hydrogen may substantially impact enzymatic processes, inducing specific alterations in disulfide bonds and trypsin inactivation. …”
