Lactobacillus faecis

◐ Food-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Lactobacillus faecis is a relatively recently described species, first formally named and isolated from animal feces in 2013. The available research record is sparse: one in vitro study examined its role in short-chain fatty acid production in response to plant polysaccharides, and it appears as a gut microbiome constituent in several animal model studies involving microplastic exposure and metabolic research. No human clinical trials have investigated L. faecis as a probiotic intervention, and strain-specific evidence remains very limited. This species is primarily of microbiological and ecological interest at this stage of research. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
