  - Ablation of the microbiota in uricase-deficient mice causes severe #Hyperuricemia - anaerobe-targeted antibiotics increase the risk of gout in humans.
• [#Xanthine] - #Uric acid elimination is facilitated by the enzyme uricase. - Human uricase is a pseudogene, having been inactivated early in hominid evolution. - anaerobic #Uric acid metabolism is widespread among members of the human gut.
• [1.4] 
  - In gout, #Bacteroides caccae and #Bacteroides xylanisolvens are enriched. - #Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and #Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum depleted. - The established reference microbial gene catalogue for gout revealed disorder in purine degradation and #Butyric acid biosynthesis in gout patients. - Intestinal microbiota of gout are more similar to those of type-2 diabetes than to liver cirrhosis, whereas depletion of #Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and reduced butyrate biosynthesis are shared in each of the metabolic syndromes. - #Bacteroides caccae is one biomarker of IBD. OmpW protein produced by B. caccae is a target of the IBD-associated immune response, thus the enriched intestinal B. caccae in gout patients could potentially induce serious inflammatory response. - #Faecalibacterium prausnitzii has anti-inflammatory properties and contribute to gut health through butyrate production. for gout patients, potentially explaining the decline in #Butyric acid biosynthesis in gout patients.
