Akkermansia muciniphila has been added to the Colonoflor 16 test system

Akkermansia muciniphila, a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, was discovered quite recently. Initially, scientists paid little attention to it, but over time, studies on mice revealed that Akkermansia plays a key role in the prevention of obesity and type 2 diabetes. It regulates intestinal permeability and thus protects the body from unwanted bacteria, inflammatory bowel syndrome, and appendicitis. The absence or reduction of Akkermansia muciniphila is associated with diabetes and obesity.
