In addition, using HiAlc Kpn strains HK2 (ST447, which produces 42.5 mmol/L alcohol) and HK3 (ST101, which produces 41.5 mmol/L alcohol) (both was isolated from a patient with NASH) as bacterial host, phages phikp16 (targeting HK2) and phikp17 (targeting HK3) were obtained from the patient’s feces. This evidence concerns the gene HK2 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
