The researchers identified 57 cases in which gut bacteria can alter existing oral medications, which can alter the medications to be less effective, not effective at all, or even toxic. Unfortunately, the Princeton study will require more detailed study of specific gut microbiome strains to isolate which bacteria are affecting the medications and how.
The SciTech Daily reported that "researchers found that some people’s microbiomes had little effect on a given drug, while other microbiomes had a significant effect," causing a wide variability between individuals tested. In addition, Princeton's Donia said it calls for studying of various drugs on the "entire intestinal microbial community.”
