Aeromonas is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria found in aquatic environments and, increasingly recognized as an opportunistic gut pathogen. Several species — particularly Aeromonas hydrophila, A. veronii, and A. caviae — are associated with gast…
Citrobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family, named for its ability to utilize citrate as a sole carbon source. Species include C. freundii, C. koseri, and C. rodentium (a mouse model for EHEC infection). In …
Corynebacterium is a large genus of Gram-positive, club-shaped bacteria with over 130 species spanning commensals, opportunistic pathogens, and the classic pathogen C. diphtheriae. In the WikiBiome context, Corynebacterium is most notable for its dominance in the male r…
Debaryomyces is a genus of ascomycetous fungi, with D. hansenii being the most clinically relevant species, that represents a prominent opportunistic pathobiont enriched in inflammatory bowel disease, particularly crohns disease. Unlike many commensal fungi, Debaryomyce…
Enterobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the enterobacteriaceae family. Key species include enterobacter cloacae (the most clinically relevant) and E. hormaechei. Like other Enterobacteriaceae, Enterobacter possesses iron-dependent s…

Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic coccus that inhabits the gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity, and genitourinary tract of humans. It is a commensal in the healthy gut at low abundance but is one of the most clinically significant opportu…
Klebsiella is a genus of Gram-negative, encapsulated, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family. With 141 file mentions across the vault, Klebsiella is one of the most frequently referenced opportunistic pathogens. The dominant species is klebsie…
