1. Commensals and Opportunistic Pathogens:

   • Actinomycetaceae bacteria are part of the normal microbiota in various environments, including the human oral cavity, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract. While most actinomycetes are commensal, some can become opportunistic pathogens, causing infections under certain conditions.

2. Oral Microbiota:

   • Actinomycetaceae members, such as Actinomyces species, are commonly found in the oral cavity. They contribute to the complex microbial community within the mouth and play roles in processes like dental plaque formation and oral health.

3. Infections and Diseases:

   • Certain Actinomycetaceae species can be associated with infections, particularly in the oral and respiratory regions. Actinomyces is a genus within Actinomycetaceae that includes species associated with conditions like actinomycosis, a rare but serious bacterial infection.

4. Anaerobic and Microaerophilic Characteristics:

   • Many Actinomycetaceae species are anaerobic or microaerophilic, meaning they thrive in environments with low oxygen levels. This physiological characteristic influences their distribution and activity in specific niches, such as mucosal surfaces.

5. Role in Decomposition:

   • Some Actinomycetaceae species are involved in the decomposition of organic matter in soil. They contribute to nutrient cycling and play a role in environmental processes.

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
