Barnesiella

Endobiota Source-Label Caveat#

Ata and colleagues reported that a genus printed as “Barnesella” was significantly decreased in stool from 14 women with stage 3/4 endometriosis compared with 14 controls.

The study used V3–V4 16S rRNA sequencing and RDP classifier 2.12, and the printed label appears in its results text and table.^{[4]Ata 2019 — The Endobiota Study: Comparison of Vaginal, Cervical and Gut Microbiota Between Women with Stage 3/4 Endometriosis and Healthy ControlsBaris Ata, Sule Yildiz, Engin Turkgeldi et al. · 2019Open reference 4 ↓}

Colonetti and colleagues later summarized the Ata result under the recognized spelling Barnesiella.^{[5]Gut and Vaginal Microbiota in the Endometriosis: Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisTamy Colonetti, Maria Carolina Saggioratto, Antonio Jose Grande et al. · 2023Open reference 5 ↓}

WikiBiome therefore treats “Barnesella” as a source-transcription or source-label alias for routing and traceability, not as a valid bacterial name or nomenclatural synonym.

The original spelling remains visible when the 2019 study or reviews that repeat its wording are described.^{[6]Miyashira 2022 — The Microbiome and EndometriosisCarlos H Miyashira, Fernanda Reali Oliveira, Marina Paula Andres et al. · 2022Open reference 6 ↓[7]Ser 2023 — Current Updates on the Role of Microbiome in Endometriosis: A Narrative ReviewHooi-Leng Ser, Siu-Jung Au Yong, Mohamad Nasir Shafiee et al. · 2023Open reference 7 ↓}

The later spelling normalization does not by itself prove that the underlying sequence assignment was definitively resolved to Barnesiella; that would require reanalysis of the study data against an identified current reference taxonomy.
