Butyrivibrio spp.
Butyrivibrio spp. are beneficial gut bacteria known for producing butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that plays a key role in maintaining intestinal health. Butyrate supports the integrity of the gut lining, reduces inflammation, and serves as a primary energy source for colon cells. The presence of Butyrivibrio is generally considered a positive indicator of a healthy microbiome. Low levels may suggest reduced butyrate production, which can be associated with intestinal inflammation or dysbiosis. These bacteria thrive on dietary fibre and are part of the Firmicutes phylum.
Description
It is a genus of gut bacteria that produce butyrate, a compound essential for colon health and the integrity of the gut lining.
Butyrate helps fuel colon cells, reduce inflammation, and support a healthy intestinal barrier.
It might indicate compromised fiber fermentation or a decreased ability for gut healing, possibly connected to dysbiosis or inflammation.
A diet high in fiber, particularly with resistant starches and prebiotics, can help support these butyrate-producing bacteria.
