Another study published in 2012 showed that implanting Bacteroides uniformis bacteria into obese mice resulted in weight loss and improved blood sugar control.

Further research will be needed to clarify whether boosting the numbers of Blautia or Bacteroides uniformis bacteria might benefit people with GI disorders, autism, or other conditions.

To look at sub-strains of a Bacteroides vulgatus strain, ... B. vulgatus and Bacteroides uniformis. Comparing a small number of healthy individuals and hospitalized COVID-19 patients, ...

Bacteroides uniformis, another depleted species, has previously been implicated in inflammatory arthritis. The specific microbiome blueprint for fibromyalgia described in the study was unique when ...

In contrast, Bacteroides uniformis and Bacteroides vulgatus showed inter-individual oscillation over time with the appearance of either donor or recipient fecal strain dominance.

Notably, beneficial microbes like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Parabacteroides distasonis, and Bacteroides uniformis increased. Meanwhile, potentially harmful Escherichia coli levels dropped.

In this study, the investigators demonstrated that mice that carried Bacteroides gut microbes (and in particular: Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides uniformis, and Bacteroides ovatus) had an increased ...

Once the researchers had zeroed in on these groups of bacteria, Brown delivered them to mice prior to inducing colitis. Both Blautia and Bacteroides uniformis reduced intestinal problems, and the ...

In contrast, Bacteroides uniformis and Bacteroides vulgatus showed inter-individual oscillation over time with the appearance of either donor or recipient fecal strain dominance.

They have now applied this magnified analysis to monitor changes in sub-strains over shorter periods of time, days or weeks, in two key gut bacteria—B. vulgatus and Bacteroides uniformis.
