1. Infections: Desulfovibrio species have been implicated in various infections, particularly in the context of wounds or deep tissue infections. The ability of these bacteria to thrive in anaerobic conditions allows them to colonize environments with low oxygen levels.

2. Gut Health: Desulfovibrio species are part of the human gut microbiota. In some cases, an overgrowth of sulfate-reducing bacteria, including Desulfovibrio, in the gut has been associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The increased production of hydrogen sulfide by these bacteria may contribute to gut inflammation.

3. Hydrogen Sulfide Production: Desulfovibrio bacteria are capable of producing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) during sulfate reduction. Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic gas, and elevated levels can have various health effects. In the gastrointestinal tract, excessive hydrogen sulfide production may contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammation.

4. Correlation with Diseases: Some studies have suggested a potential association between the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria, including Desulfovibrio, and certain diseases. However, establishing a direct causative link can be challenging, as the composition of the gut microbiota is influenced by various factors, including diet, genetics, and environmental exposures.

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
