Alcaligenaceae: NCBI 506, [family]

Back to details

| Alcaligenaceae| Alcaligenaceae De Ley et al. 1986

1. Opportunistic infections: Some species within the Alcaligenaceae family, such as Alcaligenes xylosoxidans, have been associated with opportunistic infections in humans. These infections can occur in individuals who are immunocompromised or have underlying health conditions. Alcaligenes xylosoxidans, for example, has been reported to cause infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections (UTIs), bloodstream infections (septicemia), and infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.

2. Hospital-acquired infections: Certain species within the Alcaligenaceae family have been identified as opportunistic pathogens in healthcare settings, particularly in association with medical devices such as catheters and ventilators. Infections caused by these bacteria can pose challenges in clinical management and may require specific antibiotic treatments.

3. Respiratory infections: Some species of Alcaligenaceae have been implicated in respiratory infections, particularly in individuals with underlying lung conditions or compromised immune systems. These infections can range from mild respiratory tract infections to more severe pneumonia.

4. Wound infections: In certain cases, members of the Alcaligenaceae family have been isolated from wound infections, especially in individuals with compromised skin integrity or in healthcare settings where wound care is necessary.

5. Septicemia: Alcaligenaceae bacteria have been identified as causative agents of bloodstream infections (septicemia), particularly in hospitalized patients with predisposing factors such as indwelling medical devices, immunosuppression, or chronic illnesses.

• 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
