Veillonellaceae ⇒ Veillonella {10000160}

Shared Reference Notes

• [1.1] [#Rheumatoid Arthritis] 
  - RA > Veillonella in saliva and tongue coating is at higher relative abundance compared to healthy controls.
• [1.2] [#Human milk nutrient fortifiers] 
  - babies fed HMBFs derived from their own mother’s milk had higher levels of Veillonella in their stools, which has been shown to help protect #Infants from developing #Asthma.
• [1.3] [#Diabetes Type 1, #Diabetes Type 2] 
  - Compared to the levels in non-diabetic individuals, diabetes patients exhibited a higher abundance of #Neisseria, TM7, #Gemella, #Eikenella, #Selenomonas, #Actinomyces, #Capnocytophaga, #Fusobacterium, #Aggregatibacter, Veillonella, and #Streptococcus genera and a lower abundance of Filifactor, Synergistetes, Tannerella, Eubacterium, Porphyromonas, and Treponema genera
• [1.4] [#Natural Skin Microbiome] [#Infants] 
  - Infant skin > 21 bacterial phyla with #Proteobacteria, #Firmicutes, #Actinobacteria, and #Bacteroidetes being the most abundant. - the relative abundance of #Burkholderiaceae and #Staphylococcus, highly abundant after birth, decreased progressively, to the benefit of newly colonizing taxa such as #Streptococcus, Veillonella, and #Enhydrobacter aerosaccus
• [1.5] [#Veillonella atypica] [#Athletes] 
  - increase in Veillonella relative abundance in marathon runners postmarathon. - Veillonella utilize #Lactate as their sole carbon source > at higher relative abundance postexercise > convert #Lactate to #Propionate. - V. atypica improves run time via its metabolic conversion of exercise-induced #Lactate into #Propionate, thereby identifying a natural, microbiome-encoded enzymatic process that enhances athletic performance. - intrarectal instillation of #Propionate in mouse is sufficient to reproduce the increased treadmill run time performance observed with V. atypica gavage.
