Altered intestinal microbiota–host mitochondria crosstalk in new onset Crohn’s disease

Altered intestinal microbiota–host mitochondria crosstalk in new onset Crohn’s disease

Crohn’s disease is associated with altered intestinal microbiota. Here, the authors show that the microbe Atopobium parvulumis associated with Crohn’s disease patients, triggers colitis in a mouse model, and that scavenging microbe-induced hydrogen sulfide improved symptoms in mice.
