1. Normal Microbiota:

   • Veillonella is a part of the normal microbial community (microbiota) in humans, particularly in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. In these environments, it exists in symbiosis with the host and other microorganisms.

2. Fermentation:

   • Veillonella species are known for their ability to ferment lactate, producing various metabolic byproducts, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs, such as propionate, have been associated with various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects and metabolic regulation.

3. Oral Health:

   • Veillonella is commonly found in the oral microbiota and is associated with dental plaque. While it is a normal part of the oral microbial community, an imbalance in the oral microbiota can contribute to conditions like dental caries and periodontal diseases.

4. Gut Microbiota:

   • Veillonella is also present in the gut microbiota, where it plays a role in the fermentation of dietary fibers and other substrates. The metabolic activities of Veillonella in the gut contribute to the production of SCFAs, which can have implications for gut health and overall well-being.

5. Metabolic Health:

   • The metabolic byproducts of Veillonella, such as propionate, have been studied for their potential impact on metabolic health. Propionate, in particular, is known for its role in gluconeogenesis and its potential influence on insulin sensitivity.

6. Exercise and Lactate Metabolism:

   • Some research has explored the role of Veillonella in the context of exercise. Veillonella species have been found to increase in abundance after intense exercise, suggesting a potential role in lactate metabolism. The exact mechanisms and implications for exercise performance are areas of ongoing investigation.

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
