Table 5 Natural habitats of shared bacterial taxa identified by pairwise comparisons
Shared bacterial taxa | Habitat |
|---|---|
Aggregibacter segnis (Pasteurellaceae) | Normal human oral flora [51] |
Anaerococcus spp. (Tissierella nov.fam.) | Commensal human flora, opportunistic pathogens also environmental [46],[47] |

Bifidobacterium spp. (Bifidobacteriaceae) | Normal intestinal flora [39] |
Corynebacterium × 1 spp. (Corynebacteriaceae) | Key members associated as part of skin flora [39] |
Dialister spp. (Veillonaceae) | Implicated in oral cavity diseases [39] |
Dietziaceae | Environmental and implications as an emerging human pathogen [48] |
Knoellia subterranea (Intrasporangiaceae) | Environmental [61] |
Lactobacillus iners and Lactobacillus spp. ×6 (Lactobacillaceae) | Part of a suite of lactobacilli that inhabit human female genital-urinary area [40] |
Mycoplana spp. (Caulobacteraceae) | Environmental [62] |
Neisseriaceae | Members may be human commensals (of the mouth) or pathogenic [39] |
Paracoccus (Rhodobacteriaceae) | Environmental [49] |
Peptinophilus spp. (Tissierella fam.nov.) | Pathogenic [47] |
Prevotella spp. (Prevotellaceae) | Oral, vaginal and GIT commensals [39] |
Xanthomonadaceae | Plant pathogen (opportunistic human pathogen) [59] |
