Providencia spp.

Providencia spp. are gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria that belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They are not typically dominant members of the gut microbiome but can be found in small amounts. Some species, such as Providencia stuartii and Providencia rettgeri, are considered opportunistic pathogens and have been associated with urinary tract infections and gastrointestinal disturbances. Elevated levels in a stool sample may indicate microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) or an overrepresentation of potentially pathogenic strains. Providencia species are also known for their ability to produce urease and contribute to ammonia formation.
