Prevotella melaninogenica is a species of bacterium in the normal microbiota of the upper respiratory tract. It is an important human pathogen in various anaerobic infections, often mixed with other aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. [2] P. melaninogenica is an anaerobic, Gram-negative rod, named for its black colonies, and black pigment.
Prevotella species may be commensal in the vagina, though increased abundance of Prevotella in vaginal mucosa is associated with bacterial vaginosis.A study of 542 Korean women, including identical and fraternal twins, highlighted that the vaginal microbiota's composition is influenced by menopausal status and bacterial vaginosis, with Lactobacillus and Prevotella being the most inheritable ...
As of January 2024 Prevotellaceae is split into 10 valid genera: Alloprevotella, Hallella, Hoylesella, Leyella, Palleniella, Paraprevotella, Prevotella, Pseudoprevotella, Segatella, Xylanibacter. [5] These 10 genera include 69 different bacterial species. The genus Prevotella is known for its role in the human gastrointestinal microbiota.
Bacteroides species also benefit their host by excluding potential pathogens from colonizing the gut.Some species (B. fragilis, for example) are opportunistic human pathogens, causing infections of the peritoneal cavity, gastrointestinal surgery, and appendicitis via abscess formation, inhibiting phagocytosis, and inactivating beta-lactam antibiotics.
Type 1 is characterized by high levels of Bacteroides, type 2 has few Bacteroides but Prevotella are common, and type 3 has high levels of Ruminococcus. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The value of classifying by enterotype has been challenged.

In the United States, florfenicol is indicated for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni, for treatment of bovine interdigital phlegmon (foot rot, acute interdigital necrobacillosis, infectious pododermatitis) associated with Fusobacterium necrophorum and Prevotella melaninogenica.
Veillonella parvula is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative, coccus-shaped bacterium in the genus Veillonella. [2] It is a normal part of the oral flora but can be associated with diseases such as periodontitis and dental caries as well as various systemic infections, including meningitis and osteomyelitis.
