Bacteroides caccae
Bacteroides caccae is a species within the Bacteroides genus, one of the dominant bacterial groups in the human gut. These bacteria play an important role in breaking down dietary fibers, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and supporting normal digestive function. B. caccae also interacts with the immune system and contributes to a stable, well-functioning microbiome.
While Bacteroides species are generally beneficial in balanced amounts, they can become opportunistic when elevated—especially in the presence of inflammation, disrupted digestion, or dietary imbalances. Low levels may reflect reduced microbial diversity, insufficient fiber intake, or recent antibiotic exposure. High levels can occur with high-fat or low-fiber diets, gut inflammation, or dysbiosis patterns commonly seen in IBS or IBD.
On the Gut Zoomer panel, Bacteroides caccae helps assess overall microbiome structure, digestive efficiency, and potential inflammatory activity, providing insight into how well the gut is functioning and how balanced your microbial environment is.
Lab Results Explained and Tracked
What does it mean if your Bacteroides caccae result is too high?
High levels of Bacteroides caccae may reflect gut inflammation, altered digestion, or dietary patterns high in fat and low in fiber. Elevated levels can also contribute to gas, bloating, or microbial imbalance and should be interpreted alongside other bacteria involved in fermentation and inflammation.
