1. Environmental Bacteria:

   • Microbacterium species are primarily environmental bacteria and are commonly found in soil, water, and plant-associated environments.

2. Plant-Associated Bacteria:

   • Some Microbacterium species have been identified as plant-associated bacteria and may have interactions with plants. In certain cases, they can be beneficial by promoting plant growth or suppressing plant pathogens.

3. Rare Human Infections:

   • While Microbacterium species are not typically associated with human infections, there have been rare reports of human infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems. In these cases, Microbacterium species have been isolated from clinical specimens.

4. Opportunistic Pathogens:

   • In immunocompromised individuals, including those with underlying health conditions or undergoing immunosuppressive treatments, certain bacteria that are normally considered environmental or non-pathogenic can become opportunistic pathogens.

5. Clinical Significance:

   • Infections associated with Microbacterium in humans are infrequent, and the clinical significance of these infections may vary. Reported cases have involved conditions such as bacteremia, skin and soft tissue infections, and prosthetic device-related infections.

6. Antibiotic Susceptibility:

   • Microbacterium species can exhibit varying antibiotic susceptibilities. Identification of the specific species and testing for antibiotic resistance patterns may be important for appropriate clinical management in the rare instances of human infections.

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
