Taurine Makes Our Microbiota Stronger

Jean-Marc Collard et al. Trends Endocrinol Metab. 2021 May.

Abstract

Our gut microbiota is known as an efficient barrier for infection; however, the physiological processes involved are poorly understood. Stacy et al. recently shed light on the key contribution of taurine to the trainable resistance of the gut microbiota to infection. This represents a groundbreaking advance for future microbiota-based therapeutics.
