IntroductionPatients with alcoholic hepatitis have an increase in cytolysin-producing Enterococcus faecalis that correlates with disease severity and mortality. AimTo determine whether patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis have an elevated abundance of cytolysin-producing E. faecalis. MethodsQuantification by qPCR of cytolysin-producing E. faecalis in controls and patients with alcoholic hepatitis or pancreatitis. ResultsPatients with alcoholic pancreatitis had a higher proportion of intestinal cytolysin-positive E. faecalis than healthy controls and patients with alcoholic hepatitis. ConclusionCytolytic E. faecalis may also be involved in this other alcohol-related complication and benefit from targeted microbiota editing strategies.
