General description
Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram negative, anaerobic, non motile, non spore forming and oval shaped bacterium. A. muciniphila inhabits the gastrointestinal tracts of more than 90% of adults and constitutes 1 to 4% of the fecal microbiota.2 A. muciniphila level was suggested to be a biomarker for a healthy intestin. 3
A. muciniphila degrades mucus and utilizes it as a carbon/nitrogen source. Consequently, the host produces additional mucus while the bacterium produces oligosaccharides and Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) that can be utilized by the host and trigger the immune system. An additional protective effect of the SCFA is stimulation of mucus-associated microbiota growth, that serves as a barrier against penetration of pathogens to intestinal cells. 2,4
