Several studies show associations between gut bacterial dysbiosis and chronic liver diseases, but causative mechanisms are largely unclear. We recently identified cytolysin, a bacterial exotoxin expressed and secreted by Enterococcus faecalis to cause liver damage in the setting of alcohol-related liver disease. Cytolysin was increased and highly correlated with liver disease severity and mortality in alcoholic hepatitis patients. In this study, we investigated if fecal cytolysin-positivity can be linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a highly prevalent disease where new biomarkers and treatment targets are urgently needed. In contrast to what we observed in alcoholic hepatitis, only seven out of 96 NAFLD patients were cytolysin positive, and these patients did not have increased liver disease activity compared to cytolysin-negative patients. These results indicate, that the association of cytolysin carriage with worse clinical outcome might be specific for alcoholic hepatitis.
