Segatella copri is a very common species in the human gut
A high abundance of Segatella copri associates with a lower risk of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Segatella copri positively associates with general health.
Segatella copri is part of the Segatella copri complex, containing 13 different species, ubiquitous in traditional agrarian, non-Westernized societies that consume fiber-rich diets. The population structure of human gut bacteria was studied in a diverse cohort from rural areas in Tanzania and Botswana.
