1. Infections:

   • Members of the Peptococcaceae family can be involved in various infections, particularly in polymicrobial infections and mixed anaerobic infections. They are often part of the normal flora in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts and can cause infections when there is a disruption in the normal balance of the microbial community.

2. Intra-Abdominal Infections:

   • Peptococcaceae bacteria, along with other anaerobes, can contribute to intra-abdominal infections. These infections may occur in the peritoneal cavity and are often associated with conditions such as appendicitis, diverticulitis, or abscess formation.

3. Soft Tissue Infections:

   • In certain cases, Peptococcaceae can be implicated in soft tissue infections, especially in the context of wounds or abscesses. They may be part of the polymicrobial flora contributing to these infections.

4. Bacteremia and Septicemia:

   • While less common, Peptococcaceae can enter the bloodstream (bacteremia) and lead to systemic infections (septicemia). This is usually associated with severe underlying conditions or immunocompromised states.

5. Endocarditis:

   • In rare cases, Peptococcaceae have been identified as causative agents in infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart valves. This typically occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream and colonize the heart valves.

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
