Para-cresol production by Clostridium difficile affects microbial diversity and membrane integrity of Gram-negative bacteria. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobe and a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Disruption of the commensal microbiota, such as through treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, is a critical precursor for ...

The autism-linked gut microbial metabolite p-cresol inhibits host catecholamine biosynthesizing enzymes to elicit social deficits [PDF]
Communications BiologyAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with altered gut microbiota and elevated levels of the microbial metabolite p-cresol. We previously demonstrated that -cresol induces social deficits in male mice, alongside reduced excitability of dopamine ...

Toward an effective delivery system of a microbial sink of the uremic toxin, p-cresol; an in vitro study with Thauera aminoaromatica S2 [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIndividuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from uremia, a condition characterized by the accumulation of uremic toxin in the blood. The aromatic uremic toxin p-cresol, a byproduct of tyrosine fermentation in the gut, binds to plasma albumin and
