OVERVIEW:
A genus of weakly gram-positive, anaerobic bacteria of uncertain affiliation; motile, curved rods that ferment glucose and are found in the rumen of bovine animals.Babies with a higher risk of asthma presented lower levels of four bacteria in their feces samples in comparison with the infants who did not show any symptoms. Those bacteria were identified as Faecalibacterium, Lachnospira, Veillonella and Rothia - known all together as FLVR.
