- Isolated rarely from the human vagina
- Found in the human gut1,2
- Gut bacteria3
- Good growth at 37 °C (body temperature)
- Uses sugars: glucose, sucrose, xylose, rhamnose, lactose, maltose, arabinose, mannose and raffinose
- Does not use sugars: cellobiose, salicin, trehalose, mannitol, glycerol, melezitose and sorbitol
- Associated with autoimmune disease and type 1 diabetes, particularly in children4
- Other Bacteroides are commensal in the human gut, but may also be significant opportunistic pathogens found in anaerobic infections throughout the human body
