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

“…BA-transformation activity mediated by the bile acid inducible (bai) operon has been functionally characterized in the genus Clostridium, and homologous bai gene sequences have been found in metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) belonging to other taxa in the human gut, but it is unclear which species of bai-carrying bacteria perform physiologically significant amounts of bile acid transformation in healthy and sick individuals. Here, we analyzed hundreds of stool samples with paired metagenomic and metabolomic data from IBD patients and controls and found that the abundance of the bai operon in metagenomic samples was highly predictive of that sample’s high- or low-SBA metabolic state. …”
