1. Normal Gut Flora:

   • Some Peptoclostridium species are part of the normal microbial community in the human gut. In healthy individuals, these bacteria are generally considered commensal, playing a role in the fermentation of undigested carbohydrates and contributing to the balance of the gut microbiota.

2. Opportunistic Infections:

   • In certain situations, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions, Peptoclostridium species can become opportunistic pathogens. They may be involved in infections, especially in the context of intra-abdominal infections, soft tissue infections, or bacteremia.

3. Antibiotic-Associated Infections:

   • Some Peptoclostridium species have been associated with antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis, particularly following the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics that disrupt the normal balance of the gut microbiota.

4. Role in Diseases:

   • While some Peptoclostridium species have been implicated in human infections, their role in specific diseases may vary, and the clinical significance can depend on the particular species involved.

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
