Super exciting study linking diet to Colibactin producing bacteria and its impact on CRC. Check out our MOTM highlight on this at cmmc.gnps2.org or x.com/MicrobialCMMC/status/1…
Diets high in meat and low in fiber have been linked with a boost of colibactin-producing E. coli, damaging DNA, and leading to colorectal cancer
Could the microbiome drive the current rise in colorectal cancer?

Have we finally discovered what a “normal” gut #microbiome looks like?
Analysis of 45,454 microbiomes from 42 countries identified the Health-Associated Core Keystone (HACK) index, linking certain microbial profiles to lifestyle, disease, and health.

What if the gut microbiome drives sugar cravings?
New research found the bacterium Bacteroides vulgatus was causally linked to intake of sugar, with pantothenic acid being the key metabolite involved:

Akkermansia muciniphila is a promising target for managing obesity and type 2 diabetes
However, this randomized trial reveals that the metabolic benefits of A. muciniphila supplementation could depend on its baseline intestinal levels:
