| ATCC 49686| Clostridium oxalicum| Clostridium oxalicum Dehning and Schink 1990| DSM 5503| Oxalophagus oxalicus| Oxalophagus oxalicus (Dehning and Schink 1990) Collins et al. 1994| strain Alt Ox1

1. Role in Oxalate Metabolism: Oxalophagus oxalicus is capable of degrading oxalate, a compound found in foods such as spinach, rhubarb, and certain nuts. Oxalate metabolism by Oxalophagus oxalicus may contribute to the reduction of oxalate levels in the gut, potentially reducing the risk of kidney stones and other oxalate-related disorders.

2. Beneficial Effects: Reduction of oxalate levels in the gut through the action of Oxalophagus oxalicus may have beneficial effects on host health, particularly for individuals prone to kidney stone formation or hyperoxaluria. By breaking down oxalate, Oxalophagus oxalicus may help prevent the formation of calcium oxalate crystals, which are a common component of kidney stones.

3. Potential Applications: Oxalophagus oxalicus and other oxalate-degrading bacteria have been investigated for their potential therapeutic applications in the prevention and treatment of kidney stones and other oxalate-related disorders. Strategies aimed at promoting the growth of oxalate-degrading bacteria in the gut, such as dietary interventions or probiotic supplementation, are areas of ongoing research.

4. Safety Considerations: While Oxalophagus oxalicus and other oxalate-degrading bacteria are generally considered safe, their use as probiotics or therapeutic agents requires further research to ensure efficacy and safety. Additionally, interactions between Oxalophagus oxalicus and the gut microbiota, as well as potential effects on host physiology, need to be thoroughly investigated.

Lab Reporting

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.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Oxalophagus oxalicus

• Frequency - how often do samples show this bacteria
• UD - An alternative statistical algorithm (which factors in the frequency)
• Kaltoft-Moldrup Heuristic Using uploaded data
• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 2 Standard Deviation to Mean + 2 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples (Patent Pending)
