Bacteroides Dorei

Meaning

Bacteroides dorei is a specific anaerobic bacterium belonging to the gut microbiota, frequently studied for its role in metabolic and immune system regulation. This organism is recognized within the broader context of the gut-hormone axis, where microbial populations influence host physiology. Dysbiosis involving this species can correlate with changes in nutrient absorption and systemic inflammation, impacting overall endocrine function. Clinically, assessing the relative abundance of this bacterium offers insights into an individual’s gastrointestinal health and metabolic profile.
