It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Parabacteroides timonensis is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Bilen2016a)

This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Bilen2016a). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
