Will gut bacteria replace drugs as medicine?

In a paper published Wednesday, August 28, 2019 in the journal Nature, scientists found that certain bacteria molecules can interact with protein receptors in mice, receptors which humans also have. The specific receptors found by microbiologist Sean Brady and his team at Rockefeller University, made the connection that certain gut bacteria are making molecules that improve glucose regulation in mice, a key step toward harnessing molecules to treat illness.

In Brady's study, signaling molecule in the bacteria known as N-acyl amides are involved in signaling pathways, helping the body regulate itself. Knowing this could enable us to use microbes to not only address symptoms as so much of modern medicine does, but apply healthy microbes to treat the source of an illness.
