A Gram-negative obligate anaerobe that exemplifies the commensal-pathobiont spectrum. B. vulgatus is a common component of the healthy gut microbiota, yet is significantly enriched in colorectal cancer and depression, suggesting a context-dependent pathogenic potential.…
A family of Gram-positive obligate anaerobes (formerly classified as the genus Oscillospira, now reclassified into Oscillibacter and related genera within Oscillospiraceae) that serve as keystone butyrate producers in the healthy human distal colonic microbiota (Konikof…
A Gram-negative obligate anaerobe that occupies a unique context-dependent niche in the human gut microbiome. P. copri is significantly enriched in rheumatoid arthritis patients and is associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity, yet in other contexts it can function…
