Hydrogen Sulfide levels are often used to diagnosis SIBO. (Hydrogen sulphide in exhaled breath: a potential biomarker for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in IBS. 2016) Today I saw a naive comment and would like to educate SIBO folks on what is known from actual studies.
“Hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria are gram negative proteobacteria.

Who produces hydrogen sulfide?
- Fusobacterium from cysteine [2019]
- Fusobacterium nucleatum [2018]
- Desulfosporosinus orientis (gram POSITIVE) and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans [2018]
- Low pH [2018]
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae [2017] aka saccharomyces boulardii
- Bilophila wadsworthia from taurine [2017]
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae [2016]
- Veillonella from cysteine, Veillonella dispar, Veillonella parvula [2014]
- Tissierella from peptone, Desulfosporosinus [2013]
- Desulfovibrio piger, Lactate has the potential to promote hydrogen sulphide formation in the human colon.[2009]
- Veillonella, Actinomyces , Prevotella [2005]
Positive findings:
- Enterococcus faecium strain L86 reduced it [2011]
