"Stinky Savior: Gut Microbe's Battle Against Pathogens"
Scientists have discovered a new gut bacterium, Taurinivorans muris, that feeds on taurine and produces hydrogen sulfide. While hydrogen sulfide has protective properties against certain pathogens, excessive amounts can harm gut health. This finding provides insights into the roles of taurine and hydrogen sulfide in the gut and their broader health implications, contributing to the development of future microbiome-based therapies.
