Article Synopsis
- Recent research has identified a microbiome configuration called Bacteroides2 (Bact2), linked to systemic inflammation and prevalent in individuals with loose stools, especially in those with inflammatory bowel disease.
- * The prevalence of Bact2 increases with obesity, going from 3.90% in lean or overweight individuals to 17.73% in obese ones, and is associated with higher systemic inflammation levels.
- * Statin therapy appears to reduce Bact2 prevalence in obese participants, suggesting that it may negatively impact microbiome dysbiosis, a finding that needs further investigation in clinical trials.
