DAfter a long season consuming sugar in the intestines, Akkermansia muciniphila could hardly generate sympathy, but the University of Lund, in Sweden, and the Technical University of Denmark were not affected by the fame and attributed new function for these bacteria. Then came the promise of universal blood. Maybe Akkermansia muciniphila doesn’t know it, but, according to the two universities, the enzymes produced by the bacteria can be used to process red blood cell antigens that distinguish blood groups A, B and AB – and also mo O, which can be received by people from A, B, and AB, as it does not have antigens that generate adverse reactions.
