Oral microbiota: Hoylesella oralis is commonly found in the oral cavity, particularly in dental plaque and saliva. It is considered a commensal bacterium, meaning it typically coexists with other microorganisms in the mouth without causing disease. However, disruptions in the balance of the oral microbiota, including changes in the abundance of Hoylesella oralis, have been associated with oral health conditions such as dental caries (cavities), periodontal disease (gum disease), and halitosis (bad breath).
Gut microbiota: While less studied in comparison to its presence in the oral cavity, Hoylesella species, including Hoylesella oralis, have also been detected in the gastrointestinal tract. The role of Hoylesella species in the gut microbiota and their potential impacts on gut health are still being elucidated. Some studies suggest that alterations in the gut microbiota composition, including changes in the abundance of Hoylesella species, may be associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, more research is needed to understand the specific contributions of Hoylesella oralis to gut health and disease.
Metabolic health: Some studies have suggested associations between the presence of Hoylesella species in the gut microbiota and metabolic health outcomes, such as obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, the nature of these associations and the mechanisms underlying them are not fully understood. Further research is needed to determine whether specific Hoylesella species, including Hoylesella oralis, play a causal role in metabolic disorders or are simply markers of dysbiosis (imbalances in the gut microbiota) associated with these conditions.
Probiotic potential: Like other commensal bacteria, certain strains of Hoylesella species may have probiotic potential, meaning they could confer health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. Probiotics containing strains of Hoylesella species, including Hoylesella oralis, are being investigated for their potential to support oral and gut health, modulate the immune system, and promote overall well-being. However, more research is needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of probiotic formulations containing Hoylesella species.
