Environmental Distribution: Thiotrichaceae bacteria are often found in aquatic environments, particularly in association with sulfur-rich habitats such as sulfur springs, hot springs, and sediments.
Sulfur Metabolism: Many bacteria in the Thiotrichaceae family are sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, meaning they play a role in the cycling of sulfur compounds in their environments. They may oxidize sulfide to sulfate as part of their metabolic processes.
Limited Pathogenicity: Thiotrichaceae bacteria are generally not considered pathogens for humans. Instead, they are more recognized for their ecological roles in sulfur cycling and other environmental processes.
Francisella: While some members of Thiotrichaceae are sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, the genus Francisella within this family includes species that can be pathogenic to humans. For example, Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia, a zoonotic disease. However, the pathogenicity is primarily associated with Francisella species rather than the Thiotrichaceae family as a whole.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
