1. Gut Microbiota Composition: Eggerthellaceae bacteria, particularly Eggerthella species, have been identified in the human gut microbiota. The gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that plays a crucial role in various aspects of human health, including digestion, metabolism, and immune function.

2. Associations with Health and Disease: Specific species within the family Eggerthellaceae may have associations with certain health conditions or diseases. For example, some studies have suggested links between the abundance of Eggerthella species and conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and colorectal cancer. However, the nature of these associations and the specific roles of Eggerthellaceae in health and disease are still areas of active investigation.

3. Metabolism and Fermentation: Like many bacteria in the gut, Eggerthella species are involved in metabolic processes and fermentation. They contribute to the breakdown of complex carbohydrates and the production of various metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs have been associated with benefits for gut health and overall well-being.

4. Immunomodulation: Some bacteria in the gut, including those within the family Eggerthellaceae, may play a role in modulating the host immune system. The interactions between gut bacteria and the immune system are complex and can influence immune responses and tolerance.

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
