1. Positive Impacts:

   • Antibiotic Production: Some Actinomycetales bacteria are known for their ability to produce antibiotics. Streptomyces, a genus within Actinomycetales, is particularly well-known for producing antibiotics like streptomycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline. These antibiotics have been crucial in treating various bacterial infections in humans.

   • Bioremediation: Some Actinomycetales species are involved in bioremediation processes, contributing to the breakdown of organic matter in the environment. This can have positive effects on ecosystem health and reduce the impact of pollutants.

2. Negative Impacts:

   • Pathogenic Species: While many Actinomycetales are harmless, some can be pathogenic and cause infections in humans. For example, Actinomyces is a genus within this order that includes species responsible for actinomycosis, a rare but potentially serious infection that can affect various body tissues.

   • Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, is a member of the order Actinomycetales. Tuberculosis is a respiratory disease that can have significant health impacts if left untreated.

3. Environmental Impact:

   • Soil Health: Many Actinomycetales bacteria are found in soil and play a role in soil health. They contribute to the decomposition of organic matter and the recycling of nutrients, which is essential for plant growth and ecosystem function.

4. Fermentation and Food Production:

   • Some Actinomycetales are used in the fermentation of certain food products, contributing to the development of specific flavors and textures.

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
