are often the most abundant, commensal species in the gut microbiome of industrialized human populations. One of the most commonly detected species is . It has been linked to benefits like the suppression of intestinal inflammation but is also correlated with some autoimmune disorders, for example irritable bowel disorder (IBD).

The patient was treated for probable metastatic disease. Restaging FDG PET/CT scan revealed resolution of uptake in the head-and-neck and persistent focal uptake in the presumed liver metastasis.

Article Synopsis
- * Inorganic pyrophosphatases (PPases) break down PP into orthophosphates, preventing toxic buildup and providing usable phosphate for biosynthesis.
- * The study reports a crystal structure of L. pneumophila's family I PPase at high resolution, revealing its hexameric structure and preference for Mg as a cofactor, which is significant due to the bacterium's link to Legionnaires' disease.
