Bacteriophages
Viruses that exclusively infect bacteria. Bacteriophages -- phages for short -- are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, outnumbering bacteria in most environments by ratios of 1:1 to 10:1. In the human gut, the phageome represents a powerful but underexplore…

Bacteroidaceae
Bacteroidaceae is a family of obligate anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria in the order bacteroidales. The dominant genus is bacteroides, which includes B. fragilis, B. vulgatus, B. thetaiotaomicron, and B. uniformis. Bacteroidaceae are among the most abundant gut bacteri…

Bifidobacteriaceae
Bifidobacteriaceae is the family containing bifidobacterium and related genera (alloscardovia). It is the dominant family in the healthy infant gut and a significant commensal family in adults. Family-level depletion is documented in ASD (marked reduction of Actinobacte…

Clostridium symbiosum
Clostridium symbiosum is a Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic bacterium within the Clostridium cluster XIVa — a taxonomic group enriched for short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) producers and specialized bile acid metabolizers. Despite its ambiguous name (suggesting symbiotic…

Hepatitis
Hepatitis (liver inflammation) encompasses viral (HBV, HCV, HAV), autoimmune, alcoholic, and toxin-induced forms. In the WikiBiome framework, the gut-liver axis is central — portal blood delivers gut-derived microbial products (LPS, bacterial DNA) directly to the liver …
