1. Environmental Role: Flavobacterium aquatile and other members of the genus Flavobacterium are known for their diverse metabolic capabilities and their ability to degrade complex organic compounds in aquatic environments. They contribute to nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and the maintenance of ecosystem balance in freshwater and marine habitats.

2. Biotechnological Applications: Some Flavobacterium species, including Flavobacterium aquatile, have been studied for their potential biotechnological applications, particularly in the fields of wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and aquaculture. They may have roles in the degradation of pollutants and the production of enzymes or bioactive compounds with industrial or environmental significance.

3. Rare Human Infections: While Flavobacterium aquatile is not considered a common human pathogen, there have been rare reports of infections in humans, typically associated with immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying medical conditions. In such cases, Flavobacterium aquatile infections may present as opportunistic infections, such as wound infections, bacteremia, or urinary tract infections.

4. Prevention: Preventive measures to minimize the risk of infections with Flavobacterium aquatile or other environmental bacteria include maintaining good hygiene practices, avoiding exposure to contaminated water sources, and implementing proper wound care and infection control measures, particularly in healthcare settings.

• 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
