The Urinary Tract commensal <i>Peptoniphilus</i> spp. Encodes a Novel 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase

2026-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Microbial steroid metabolism represents an underappreciated extension of the vertebrate endocrine system, with growing evidence that host-associated microbes contribute to the diversity and bioavailability of sex steroids within human tissues. Emerging studies have linked microbial androgen metabolism to urinary microbiome composition and to resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer. Whil...
