As with A. muciniphila, the health relevance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Christensenella minuta, Anaerobutyricum soehngenii and Oxalobacter formigenes was first based on their low abundance in a specific disease, which prompted further in vivo and mechanistic studies
Lactobacillus, Roseburia, Coprococcus and Eubacterium rectale
The beneficial bacteria in the intestines are mainly obligate anaerobic bacteria, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, etc.
High overall microbial diversity, stability, and redundancy of major functions have been established as key markers of a healthy state
Within the Firmicutes phylum, 11 known and 11 unknown genera (belonging to Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae) belong to the core OTUs (>47% of healthy humans) in the healthy human gut
Health-enhancing bacteria are the bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, both of which belong to the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) group
