First seen Jan 30, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tested whether a harmless bacterium called Oxalobacter formigenes can take up residence in the gut and reduce the amount of oxalate passed in urine. Oxalate is a key ingredient in many kidney stones. Researchers gave the bacterium to 26 healthy adults who did not already carry it, then measured changes in their urine and stool oxalate levels. The goal was to see if this approach could one day help prevent kidney stones.
