Cadmium toxicity to the human gut microbiome varies depending on composition

2025-11-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cadmium (Cd(II), hereafter Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with detrimental impacts on the gut microbiota. We investigated the effects of acute Cd exposure on human fecal microbiotas using 24-hour in vitro cultures from 21 healthy adult donors. Regression analysis of butyrate production in the absence (-Cd) versus presence (+Cd) of Cd identified three categories of microbial responses: sensitive, in...
