Hidden gut bacteria populations linked to cancer, diabetes and ageing, study finds
Researchers led by the University of Vienna have discovered previously undetected subpopulations within common gut bacteria. Some of these hidden populations have been associated with serious conditions including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, and ageing. The study also revealed that certain bacterial populations appear capable of spreading between individuals and across continents within just a few decades. This suggests the human gut microbiome is significantly more transmissible and dynamic than scientists had previously believed.
