1. Infections: Sphingomonas species have been reported as causative agents in infections, particularly in healthcare settings. Infections may include bloodstream infections (bacteremia), respiratory tract infections, and infections related to medical devices such as catheters.

2. Immunocompromised Individuals: Infections with Sphingomonas species are more commonly seen in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing cancer treatment, transplant recipients, or individuals with severe underlying illnesses.

3. Nosocomial Infections: Sphingomonas species have been isolated from hospital environments and medical equipment. Some strains have been associated with nosocomial infections, which are infections acquired during hospitalization.

4. Antibiotic Resistance: Like many bacteria, some Sphingomonas strains may exhibit antibiotic resistance. Identifying the antibiotic susceptibility of the specific strain is crucial for effective treatment.

5. Environmental Impact: While some Sphingomonas species can cause infections in humans, the majority are considered environmental bacteria. They play roles in environmental processes such as the degradation of complex organic compounds.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
