| Streptococcaceae| Streptococcaceae Deibel and Seeley 1974

1. Normal Microbiota: Some Streptococcaceae species are part of the normal microbial community found in various parts of the human body, including the mouth, throat, and intestines.

2. Oral Health: Streptococcus species, such as Streptococcus mutans, are associated with dental health. While some Streptococcus strains contribute to dental plaque formation and the development of cavities, others may have a protective role in maintaining oral health.

3. Infections: Certain Streptococcus species can cause infections in humans. For example, Streptococcus pyogenes can cause strep throat and skin infections. Streptococcus pneumoniae is known for causing respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia.

4. Probiotic Potential: Some Streptococcus species are used as probiotics. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, can provide health benefits. Streptococcus thermophilus, for example, is commonly used in the production of yogurt and other fermented dairy products.

5. Role in Fermentation: Streptococcus species, particularly in the context of dairy fermentation, contribute to the production of lactic acid. This fermentation process is essential in the creation of various fermented foods and can have positive effects on gut health.

6. Immune System Interactions: Streptococcus species can interact with the host immune system. In some cases, the immune response to Streptococcus infections can lead to inflammatory conditions.

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
