TL;DR
Evidence suggests the reaction is inducible since the rate of conversion is increased by growth of the organism in creatinine-rich media.
Abstract
A Clostridium welchii has been isolated from human faeces which can deaminate creatinine to N-methyl hydantoin. Evidence suggests the reaction is inducible since the rate of conversion is increased by growth of the organism in creatinine-rich media.

The data show that there is a true creatinine deficit in patients with decreased renal function, and in these patients, Creatinine is metabolized to CO2 and methylamine, presumably by the microflora of the gut.

The results suggest that creatinine should not be considered biologically inert in animals, especially in those with decreased renal function.
