Lachnospiraceae

Lachnospiraceae is a family of beneficial bacteria found primarily in the human gut. These microorganisms help break down complex carbohydrates from our diet, producing short-chain fatty acids that support gut health and may reduce inflammation. They play an important role in maintaining a balanced digestive system and overall well-being. While generally considered good bacteria, their presence and abundance can vary based on diet and health conditions. Understanding Lachnospiraceae helps scientists explore how gut bacteria influence health and disease, making them a key focus in microbiome research.
