1. Normal Microbiota:

   • Many bacteria within the Porphyromonadaceae family are considered a part of the normal microbiota in the human body. They play a role in maintaining a balanced microbial community in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract.

2. Periodontal Health:

   • Some members of Porphyromonadaceae, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, have been associated with periodontal (gum) diseases. P. gingivalis is considered a pathogen in the development of periodontitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth.

3. Gut Microbiota:

   • Bacteria within the Porphyromonadaceae family are also found in the gastrointestinal tract. The composition of the gut microbiota has been linked to various aspects of health, including digestion, immune function, and metabolism. Imbalances in the gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, have been associated with certain health conditions.

4. Systemic Health Impacts:

   • Some studies suggest potential links between dysbiosis involving Porphyromonadaceae and systemic health issues. Changes in the gut microbiota composition have been investigated in relation to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

5. Metabolism:

   • The activities of bacteria within the Porphyromonadaceae family can influence the metabolism of certain compounds in the gut. This can have implications for nutrient absorption, energy balance, and the production of metabolites that may impact health.

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
