Commensal Bacteria The most current, literature-based information on human studies related to increased * Under certain conditions, environmental factors may influence specific commensals or decreased levels of the commensal bacteria is summarized in the following chart. to become pathobionts. Pathobionts are distinguished from true infectious agents; Note that the findings in the literature may not be consistent with Genova’s findings they are potential pathogens under certain conditions. It is unknown whether due to different methodologies, thus treatment efficacy may vary. Most therapeutic these organisms play a causative role in disease or are a consequence of a disease interventions do not work in isolation, meaning they do not exclusively only target state. Literature is evolving regarding the definition of a pathobiont and the role of 1-3 that one organism. Genova has not conducted outcome studies on the impact of commensal bacteria. certain therapeutics on the microbiome markers. Clinician discretion is advised for appropriateness of therapeutics.
