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…

An order of Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) within the class Deltaproteobacteria. The defining metabolic feature of Desulfovibrionales is dissimilatory sulfate reduction -- using sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor and producing hyd…
A family of Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic Gammaproteobacteria that includes many of the most important human pathogens: escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, salmonella typhimurium, shigella flexneri, yersinia pestis, proteus mirabilis, Morganella, and Serrati…
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…
Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is a protein-bound uremic toxin produced through a two-step process: gut bacteria convert dietary tryptophan to indole, which is then absorbed and sulfated by hepatic sulfotransferases (SULT1A1). IS exemplifies how dysbiosis-driven metabolite overpr…
Methylobacterium is a genus of methylotrophic alpha-Proteobacteria (phylum Pseudomonadota) predominantly found in soil, water, plant surfaces, and air environments. It is a methylotroph — capable of using one-carbon compounds such as methanol as a carbon and energy sour…
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common and lethal gastrointestinal emergency in premature infants, affecting 5-12% of very low birth weight neonates (<1500 g) with mortality rates of 20-30%. Characterized by intestinal inflammation, necrosis, and perforation…

Parasutterella excrementihominis is a Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacterium within the Betaproteobacteria class that has gained attention as an emerging biomarker across metabolic, inflammatory, and endocrine conditions. Despite its relatively recent characterizat…

Ralstonia is a genus of Gram-negative, aerobic bacteria in the class Betaproteobacteria. While Wikipedia focuses on R. solanacearum (a plant pathogen), the WikiBiome-relevant species are R. pickettii and R. metallidurans (now Cupriavidus metallidurans) — organisms with …
A severe neuropsychiatric disorder affecting approximately 1% of the global population, characterized by positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions), negative symptoms (anhedonia, social withdrawal, flat affect), and cognitive deficits. Life expectancy is reduced by 1…
Sphingomonas is a genus of Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria in the class Alphaproteobacteria, distinguished by the presence of sphingolipids in their outer membrane rather than the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) typical of most Gram-negative bacteria. Originally is…
A Gram-negative, microaerophilic genus within the Proteobacteria phylum (family Sutterellaceae). The primary species S. wadsworthensis is classified as a pathobiont due to its IgA-degrading capacity and associations with neurodevelopmental and inflammatory conditions. H…
