Proteobacteria

Proteobacteria is a large phylum of gram-negative bacteria that includes both harmless commensals and potential pathogens. In the gut, a small amount of Proteobacteria can be normal, but elevated levels are often considered a marker of dysbiosis and inflammation. This group includes species such as Escherichia, Salmonella, Helicobacter, and Klebsiella, some of which are linked to gastrointestinal disorders, infections, and metabolic imbalances. An increased abundance of Proteobacteria may reflect microbial instability or a pro-inflammatory gut environment.
