We have known for a while that obesity has a microbial component. Now, a team of scientists led by Patrice D. Cani reports a novel bacterium isolated from the human gut that counteracts diet-induced obesity, inflammation and glucose dysregulation in mice.
The gut microbiome is a potential target of interest for scientists in managing obesity and related metabolic diseases. Scientists have isolated a new-bacterium highly prevalent in the human gut and showing benefits for host metabolism.
