A class of Gram-negative bacteria within the phylum Proteobacteria that has emerged as a causal risk factor for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder through Mendelian randomization studies. Betaproteobacteria includes genera with notable metal tolerance -- particularly wi…
Gordonibacter urolithinfaciens is a Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium belonging to the family Eggerthellaceae that plays a specialized and critical role in polyphenol metabolism and conversion of ellagic acid to urolithin A. This microbial conversion is one of…
A Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium within the Epsilonproteobacteria (family Helicobacteraceae) that is the primary murine model of hepatobiliary and intestinal disease. Unlike its more famous relative helicobacter pylori, which colonizes the stomach, H. hepaticu…
A Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen and member of the ESKAPE group of antibiotic-resistant priority pathogens. K. pneumoniae deploys multiple nickel-dependent enzymes for virulence and relies on the dual-function metallophore yersiniabactin for both iron and nickel s…
A Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic genus within the phylum Actinobacteria (family Coriobacteriaceae) that has emerged as one of the most frequently identified taxa in Mendelian randomization studies across disparate conditions -- erectile dysfunction, chronic kidney di…
Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic coccus that exists in two clinical contexts: (1) as a major neonatal pathogen causing life-threatening meningitis and sepsis in newborns, and (2) as an enric…
