  1. Commensal Bacterium: Peptostreptococcus anaerobius is generally considered a commensal bacterium in the human microbiota, meaning it coexists with the host without causing harm under normal conditions.

  2. Role in Infections: While Peptostreptococcus species are part of the normal microbiota, they can become opportunistic pathogens under certain conditions. Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, in particular, has been associated with various infections, including abdominal and pelvic infections.

  3. Anaerobic Infections: Peptostreptococcus anaerobius is often involved in anaerobic infections, which occur in environments with low oxygen levels. Anaerobic infections can include abscesses, wound infections, and infections in the abdominal or pelvic regions.

  4. Periodontal Health: Some studies have suggested associations between Peptostreptococcus anaerobius and periodontal diseases. Changes in the composition of the oral microbiota can contribute to the development of gum diseases.

  5. Antibiotic Susceptibility: Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, like other anaerobic bacteria, may show variable susceptibility to antibiotics. Identification of the specific strain and its antibiotic sensitivity is important for effective treatment.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
