1. Infections:

   • Peptoniphilaceae bacteria can be involved in infections, particularly in the context of polymicrobial infections or mixed anaerobic infections. They are often part of the normal flora but can become opportunistic pathogens, causing infections when there is a disruption in the balance of the microbial community.

2. Anaerobic Infections:

   • Many Peptoniphilaceae species are anaerobic, meaning they thrive in environments with low or no oxygen. Anaerobic infections can occur in various body sites, including the oral cavity, skin, soft tissues, and deeper internal structures.

3. Abscesses and Wound Infections:

   • Peptoniphilaceae bacteria, along with other anaerobes, can contribute to the formation of abscesses and wound infections. These infections are often polymicrobial, involving a mix of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.

4. Bacteremia:

   • In severe cases, Peptoniphilaceae bacteria may be isolated from blood cultures, indicating bacteremia. Bacteremia can be associated with systemic infections and may occur in individuals with underlying health conditions or compromised immune systems.

5. Endocarditis:

   • While less common, Peptoniphilaceae have been reported as causative agents in infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart valves. This typically occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream and colonize the heart valves.

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
