1. Normal Microbiota:

   • Streptococcus species, including Streptococcus infantis, are commonly found in the human oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract as part of the normal microbiota.

2. Commensal Bacterium:

   • Streptococcus infantis is generally considered a commensal bacterium, meaning it typically coexists harmoniously with the host and does not cause disease under normal circumstances.

3. Role in Infancy:

   • The term "infantis" suggests an association with infancy. Some Streptococcus species, including those with "infantis" in their name, may be more prevalent in infants. The role of these bacteria in the early development of the microbiota is an area of ongoing research.

4. Lack of Pathogenicity:

   • Streptococcus infantis is not typically associated with causing infections or diseases in healthy individuals. However, in individuals with weakened immune systems or other health conditions, commensal bacteria can become opportunistic pathogens.

5. Probiotic Potential:

   • Some Streptococcus species, including those used in probiotics, may have potential health benefits. Probiotics containing specific strains of Streptococcus are sometimes used to support gut health.

6. Antibiotic Susceptibility:

   • The susceptibility of Streptococcus infantis to antibiotics may vary, and antibiotic resistance is an ongoing concern in bacterial populations.

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
