Bacteroides massiliensis
RANK: Species
TAXONOMY: Bacteroidetes/Chlorobi group -> Bacteroidetes -> Bacteroidia -> Bacteroidales -> Bacteroidaceae -> Bacteroides -> Bacteroides massiliensis
OVERVIEW:
Identified as constituent of vaginal microbiome. [PMID:23282177]. Sleep-deprived C57BL/6 mice had an abundance of colitogenic microbiota, but melatonin treatment decreased Bacteroides massiliensis and Erysipelotrichaceae. [PMID: 32564539]
In a study of gut bacteria of 15 patients with SARS-CoV-2 over the course of hospitalization, Bacteroides dorei, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides massiliensis, and Bacteroides ovatus, which downregulate expression of ACE2 in murine gut, correlated inversely with SARS-CoV-2 load in fecal samples from patients.
