Roseburia spp.
Roseburia spp. are beneficial, anaerobic bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes phylum and are common inhabitants of the healthy human gut. These bacteria are known for their ability to produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that serves as a vital energy source for colonocytes and helps reduce inflammation in the gut. A well-balanced level of Roseburia is often associated with better metabolic health, improved gut barrier function, and lower risk of inflammatory disorders. Decreased levels have been linked to conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.
