Which bacteria are most frequently found in the microbiome?

Updated on

Although each person has a unique microbial ecosystem, the vast majority of humans share two large groups or phyla: Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes.

Within these groups, we look for key "superbacteria" for their vital functions:

  • Faecalibacterium prausnitzii: One of the most important for its anti-inflammatory capacity.
  • Akkermansia muciniphila: The guardian of the intestinal barrier.
  • Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus: Crucial for digestion and training the immune system.

Thanks to Shotgun technology, at Vivabioma we do not stay on the surface; we identify not only the genus, but the exact species and strain, allowing you to know if you have the right "tenants" in the right proportions.
