The gut microbiota is hypothesized to influence the progression of atherosclerosis (AS) through multiple mechanisms. Identifying key differential microbiota and core metabolites associated with AS is crucial for developing precise and effective intervention strategies. In this study, we performed microbiome-metabolite analyses of fecal and serum samples from patients with ASCVD and healthy volunteers, identifying a key bacterium.
