A Gram-negative obligate anaerobe that exemplifies the commensal-pathobiont spectrum. B. vulgatus is a common component of the healthy gut microbiota, yet is significantly enriched in colorectal cancer and depression, suggesting a context-dependent pathogenic potential.…

An essential trace element with a striking dual nature: required for survival as a cofactor for critical enzymes (SOD1, cytochrome c oxidase, ceruloplasmin), yet toxic in excess through Fenton-like redox cycling and mis metallation of iron-sulfur clusters. Copper is ele…
Eggerthella is a genus of Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacteria in the family Eggerthellaceae (phylum Actinobacteria). The most studied species, Eggerthella lenta, was originally classified as Eubacterium lentum before reclassification. It is a n…
A Gram-positive obligate anaerobe and key estrobolome member that links metabolic dysbiosis to hormone-driven diseases, particularly endometriosis. E. lenta is remarkable for its ability to inactivate cardiac glycosides (like digoxin) and to produce beta-glucuronidase, …

Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic coccus that exists in two clinical contexts: (1) as a major neonatal pathogen causing life-threatening meningitis and sepsis in newborns, and (2) as an enric…
Lei et al. (2018) demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide promotes endometrial stromal cell proliferation via NF-kB activation. CBS and CSE (H2S-producing enzymes) are overexpressed in ectopic endometrium. NF-kB is also activated by nickel exposure in allergic contact mucosi…
Zinc deficiency is a consistent finding in breast cancer, and Zn plays key roles in immunity (T cell differentiation), p53 activation, and SOD cofactor function. Yet supplementation data are limited, and in the Sister Study, zinc showed a dose-related positive associati…
