Bifidobacteriaceae

Bifidobacteriaceae is the family containing bifidobacterium and related genera (alloscardovia). It is the dominant family in the healthy infant gut and a significant commensal family in adults. Family-level depletion is documented in ASD (marked reduction of Actinobacteria phylum) [1], schizophrenia [2], and metabolic syndrome [3].

For species-level detail, see bifidobacterium, bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium infantis, alloscardovia.
