Our expanding knowledge of microbial mechanisms is challenging the notion of "good" versus "bad" microbes and encouraging a better understanding of their roles in various contexts before their widespread therapeutic and clinical application. The intestinal microbe Akkermansia muciniphila, a promising probiotic with an emerging cautionary tale, best highlights this challenge.
我们对微生物机制的不断深入了解,正在挑战“有益”和“有害”微生物的概念,并鼓励在广泛的治疗和临床应用之前,更好地了解它们在各种环境下的作用。肠道微生物 Akkermansia muciniphila 是一种很有前途的益生菌,但也有一个值得警惕的故事,它很好地突出了这一挑战。
