A Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic genus within the family veillonellaceae (class Negativicutes, phylum Firmicutes) defined by its specialized amino acid fermentation -- the genus name literally means "acid from amino acids." Acidaminococcus ferments glutamate as its p…

Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the most widely used probiotic species, with clinical trial evidence spanning multiple conditions. It is a component of many multi-strain probiotic formulations and has been tested in RCTs for schizophrenia, breast cancer chemotherapy…
A metal ion that activates estrogen receptors and mimics the biological effects of estradiol. Metalloestrogens represent a distinct class of endocrine-disrupting compounds where the active agent is an inorganic metal rather than an organic xenoestrogen like BPA or phtha…

An order of Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacteria within the class Clostridia (phylum Firmicutes) that has emerged as one of the most consistent markers of a healthy gut ecosystem. Oscillospirales members are butyrate producers associated with leanness and metaboli…
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissues (gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone) driven by a dysbiotic polymicrobial biofilm in the subgingival pocket. The keystone pathogen is porphyromonas gingivalis, whose zinc-dependent gingi…
Propionibacterium (largely reclassified as Cutibacterium for skin species) is a genus of Gram-positive, anaerobic to aerotolerant bacteria that produce propionic acid as their primary fermentation product. P. acnes (now Cutibacterium acnes) is the dominant skin commensa…
