1. Normal Microbiota:

   • Peptoniphilus is a part of the normal microbial community in certain body sites, such as the human oral cavity and the female genital tract. In these environments, the bacteria coexist with other microorganisms and play a role in maintaining the microbial balance.

2. Anaerobic Metabolism:

   • Peptoniphilus species are anaerobic, meaning they thrive in environments with low oxygen levels. They participate in anaerobic fermentation processes, contributing to the breakdown of various substrates in their respective niches.

3. Associations with Infections:

   • While Peptoniphilus is generally considered a commensal part of the microbiota, some species have been associated with infections. For example, Peptoniphilus species, along with other anaerobic bacteria, may be involved in certain types of infections, including abscesses and infections in deep tissue.

4. Vaginal Microbiota:

   • In the vaginal microbiota, Peptoniphilus species are among the bacteria that contribute to the complex balance of microorganisms. Changes in the composition of the vaginal microbiota can be associated with conditions such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) or other reproductive health issues.

5. Influence on Local Environment:

   • The metabolic activities of Peptoniphilus, along with other bacteria in its ecological niche, contribute to the local environment. This includes the production of various metabolic byproducts, which may have implications for the overall health of the host.

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
