1. Oral health: Prevotella species, including Prevotella corporis, are prevalent components of the oral microbiota. While they are considered commensal bacteria under normal circumstances, an imbalance in the oral microbiota, known as dysbiosis, can lead to oral health problems such as dental caries (cavities), periodontal disease (gum disease), and halitosis (bad breath). Prevotella species are often found in dental plaque and can contribute to the formation of plaque biofilms that promote the development of oral diseases.

2. Gut health: Prevotella species are also part of the gut microbiota, where they contribute to the fermentation of dietary carbohydrates and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). While Prevotella species are generally considered beneficial in the gut, changes in their abundance or composition have been associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and colorectal cancer. Prevotella corporis, specifically, may be implicated in these conditions, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.

3. Urogenital health: Prevotella species have been detected in the urogenital tract, where they may play a role in maintaining microbial balance and preventing infections. However, certain Prevotella species, including Prevotella corporis, have been associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common vaginal infection characterized by an imbalance in the vaginal microbiota. BV can lead to symptoms such as vaginal discharge, itching, and odor. Prevotella corporis may contribute to the dysbiosis observed in BV by displacing beneficial Lactobacillus species and promoting the growth of other pathogenic bacteria.

4. Systemic health implications: Dysbiosis of the microbiota, including changes in the abundance of Prevotella species, has been linked to systemic health conditions beyond the oral, gut, and urogenital systems. Prevotella species have been implicated in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome, although the exact mechanisms of these associations are still under investigation.
