Overview


  • Parasutterella excrementihominis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 20 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 49.8%. Parasutterella excrementihominis is a common gut coloniser. (Nagai2009)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (CCUG). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Is a known gut commensal.

  • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Nagai2009);
    Character Response

  • Bile tolerance:
  • Grows in the presence of bile
  • Active enzymes:
  • Arg arylamidase; esterase C4; Leu arylamidase;

  • SPECIAL FEATURES
    Character Response
  • Nitrate:
  • not reduced

  • Parasutterella is still a relatively new genus and has been exclusively published in regards to literature on the intestinal microbiome (with the exception of the first two taxonomical papers on the discovery of P. excrementihominis and P. secunda). Both P. excrementihominis and P. secunda were isolated from fecal samples from healthy Japanese individuals and have been found to be part of the intestinal microbiome in the United States.[1][2] In a study that examined the effect of introducing and reversing diet-induced obesity on the gut microbiome and metabolism in mice, Parasutterella was decreased in mice with diet-induced obesity and increased in controls and reversal of the high fat diet with a healthier alternative (normal chow).[5] Other studies have shown increases of Parasutterella with sugar[6] and alcohol consumption.[7] Additional microbiome studies have associated increased abundance of Parasutterella with dysbiosis, or a lack of diversity in the microbial composition typically in the gut.[8][9] (Dysbiosis has been correlated with intestinal and metabolic dysfunction and several diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases and obesity.)[10] For example, Parasutterella was increased in the submucosa in the ileum of the small intestine in individuals with Crohn's disease[8] and hypertriglyceridemia-related acute necrotizing pancreatitis in rats.[9] More research is needed to further explore the role of Parasutterella species as a part of the healthy gut microbiome and in microbial dysbiosis.
