Talk:List of human microbiota

Mistake?[edit]

Is the name Bascterionema matruchotii are correct? Search1 and Search2.

Regarding the absence of cited references or sources[edit]

Each entry has adequate cited references and sources. Add a header to this page that says: "See entries for citations" and delete this box. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karin D. E. Everett (talk • contribs) 18:19, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

maybe we could use: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6351938/ to determine how big a % some of the bacterias are? Claes Lindhardt (talk) 16:46, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dictionary question[edit]

What is "spp"? Zylstra (talk) 01:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See wikt:spp.. DCDuring (talk) 12:15, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still confused. Why are some bacteria on this list marked "spp" and others not?

Also, does this list include only normal flora or normal microbiota? Or does it also include pathogenic?

It would also be interesting, I think, to see which were commensal, meaning they co-exist without harming humans, and which mutualistic with their human hosts and for the latter, a few words about what they provide humans.

The article on Human microbiome says, "some non-pathogenic microorganisms can harm human hosts via the metabolites they produce". That sounds like they are pathogenic without being pathogenic. Are any of those on this list, and if so, why?

In addition, if there were data on the relative quantity of each (e.g., by weight or volume), that would be interesting.

FYI: My knowledge of this field is very limited. Around 1980 I remember hearing that our intestines were primarily E. coli. I don't know if that was what was known then or I misunderstood.

Thanks for the work of all who helped compile this list. DavidMCEddy (talk) 15:44, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Link dead?[edit]

It seems the link down below is dead. Does this article have any sources?

Consistency?[edit]

I've noticed that this article has some inconsistencies with its formatting. At first it uses bullet-lists, then switches to tables for the tracts, and then just starts linking to other articles with a sentence or two. Any reason for this? If not, can we have this changed to be internally consistent, so all sections use one of the three methods? I'm not a regular wikipedian, so I'm not sure which would be considered proper (if any). 68.132.105.18 (talk) 23:05, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem like it would make sense to add a column with location, and the format all the subcategories in a way where they could be merged into one grand table. So that all the data is easily sortable not just some of it Claes Lindhardt (talk) 15:55, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This would also make it easier to check for dublicates Claes Lindhardt (talk) 15:59, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you[edit]

I appreciate your suggestions and I think it is about time to update this article with more references. Your suggestions can be incorporated. It is always nice to have another pair of eyes looking at the content.

The Very Best of Regards,

tissue microbiome---recent review[edit]

Lots of references in https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2021.585556/full --SCIdude (talk) 11:06, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dublicates[edit]

There seems to be quite a lot of dublicates in the list, should we merge those together? Claes Lindhardt (talk) 16:31, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vibrio[edit]

Can anyone confirm a source that lists Vibrio as part of human microbiota? In my experience this isn't an organism that is typically considered normal human flora Kelubact (talk) 18:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Databases, which we could integrate and compare with a wikibot[edit]

It seems there is quite a few databases we could expand and update this list with, with a python script or simmilar?

like: https://commonfund.nih.gov/hmp/databases , https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41745-023-00370-z , https://hmpdacc.org/ Claes Lindhardt (talk) 18:54, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

forgot: https://mimedb.org/, https://www.genengnews.com/multimedia/webinars/mapping-the-invisible-building-the-largest-database-of-human-microbiomes/, https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/50/D1/D808/6413603, https://microbiomedb.org/mbio/app, https://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12864-023-09599-5, https://www.homd.org/, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41745-023-00370-z, Claes Lindhardt (talk) 18:56, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we could make a list of databaes on the topic, on the form:

Name	Provider	Sources of revenue/sponsors	Scope	Amount of cells identified in humans so far
https://mimedb.org/	NIH	The Alzheimer's Gut Microbiome Project (1U19AG063744-01), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and Genome Canada.	24,254 compounds	???

Crosslink with list of human cells[edit]

would it make sense to somehow crosslink this article with https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_distinct_cell_types_in_the_adult_human_body&action=edit&section=10 ? as they are both list of cell(one animal cells and the other one bacterial) in the human body? Claes Lindhardt (talk) 18:57, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we would also want to sync. the location in the body references with: List of organs of the human body somehow? Claes Lindhardt (talk) 19:03, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
