Solobacterium moorei | Bacteria

[[ result.item.name ]]

Solobacterium moorei (also known as Bulleidia moorei) is an anaerobic bacillus found in the human oral cavity, specifically on the tongue, but also in the gastro-intestinal tract. S. moorei is responsible for causing bad breath by producing various sulphur compounds. It is further involved in periodontal and other oral diseases and there are reports about severe infections following oral abscesses. A high abundance of S. moorei in stool samples has recently been associated with colorectal cancer, especially when co-occuring with increased levels of F. nucleatum.
