1. Normal Gut Microbiota: Alistipes species are normal inhabitants of the human gut microbiota. They contribute to the microbial community that plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient metabolism, and immune system modulation.

2. Metabolic Functions: Alistipes bacteria are involved in the fermentation of complex carbohydrates in the colon, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as byproducts. SCFAs are known to have various health benefits, including supporting the health of the intestinal lining and influencing metabolic processes.

3. Association with Disease: While many Alistipes species are commensal, alterations in the abundance of certain gut bacteria, including Alistipes, have been observed in various disease states. Changes in the gut microbiota composition, termed dysbiosis, have been associated with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and metabolic disorders.

4. Immunomodulatory Effects: Some studies suggest that Alistipes species may have immunomodulatory effects, influencing the immune response in the gut. The interaction between gut bacteria and the host immune system is complex and can impact overall health.

5. Potential Links to Obesity: There is some research exploring the potential links between the gut microbiota, including Alistipes species, and conditions like obesity. However, the relationships are complex and may be influenced by various factors.

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
