Klebsiella pneumonia, the intestinal bacterium that synthesizes ethyl alcohol, can cause fatty liver disease in nonsmokers. The results of a study by scientists from the Beijing Institute published Cell Metabolism.
Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a condition in which excess fat accumulates in the liver. Normally, this organ contains almost no fatty tissue. The alcoholic form of liver disease is a complex of pathological changes in the liver, the development of which is caused by chronic consumption of alcohol in toxic doses, and the non-alcoholic form is a special case of the disease occurring in humans. Don’t drink.
Chinese scientists have discovered that liver diseases cannot be caused only by bad habits. Klebsiella pneumonia is a microorganism that lives both in the environment and in the human body. This pathogen has been found to be associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Sometimes bacteria already present in the body begin to multiply rapidly and synthesize ethyl alcohol. There are two specific strains that can produce alcohol. This process is accompanied by liver poisoning, nausea, fatigue and poor health.
However, it is not yet clear why Klebsiella pneumonia causes NABP in some people but not in others. It is possible that the intestinal microflora of some individuals is more suitable for the growth and colonization of these bacteria.
