A genus of Gram-positive obligate anaerobes in the family Lachnospiraceae (Clostridium cluster XIVa) that occupy a critical metabolic relay position in gut ecosystem stability: converting lactate to butyrate. Anaerostipes is one of the most consistently depleted genera …

A genus of spirochete bacteria transmitted by Ixodes ticks, best known as the causative agent of Lyme disease -- the most common tick-borne illness in the Northern Hemisphere. Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato comprises approximately 20 genospecies, with B. burgdorferi se…
A haploid, asexual yeast and the second most common cause of invasive candidiasis after Candida albicans. Recently reclassified into the genus Nakaseomyces (as N. glabratus), though the name C. glabrata remains in widespread clinical use. Unlike C. albicans, C. glabrata…

This page serves as the family-level hub for Lachnospiraceae, connecting the individual genus and species pages (roseburia, blautia, anaerostipes, eubacterium rectale) with the overarching ecological and metabolic framework that defines the family. For the primary entit…
A Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic, black-pigmented bacterium and one of the classical periodontopathogens. P. intermedia belongs to the "orange complex" of periodontal pathogens (Socransky classification) and is distinguished by its iron and heme dependency -- the c…
A genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobes that occupy niches ranging from benign commensals (dental plaque, skin) to acute pathogens (pharyngitis, impetigo, invasive disease). Streptococci are uniquely manganese-dependent for catalytic scavenging of reactive oxygen…
