Core Tip |
Gut dysbiosis, particularly decreased XIVa, correlates strongly with decreased conversion of primary BAs to secondary BAs. Decreased levels of Clostridium subcluster XIVa (XIVa) are associated with the intestinal dysbiosis found in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Since XIVa is a bacterial group responsible for the conversion of primary BAs to secondary BAs, the proportion of intestinal XIVa can be predicted by determining the ratio of deoxycholic acid (DCA)/ [DCA + cholic acid (CA)] in feces or serum. Therefore, the DCA/(DCA+CA) ratio in feces and serum is a valuable marker for detecting dysbiosis without genetic analysis of enterobacteria. |
