Coprococcus eutactus
Optimal Result:
0 - 120000000 CFU/g stool.
The abundance of Coprococcus eutactus is associated with greater bacterial gene richness in the gut.
Coprococcus is a genus of anaerobic cocci which are all part of the human faecal flora. Coprococcus includes those gram-positive, anaerobic cocci that actively ferment carbohydrates, producing butyric and acetic acids with formic or propionic and/or lactic acids. Fermentable carbohydrates are either required or are highly stimulatory for growth and continued subculture. The genus is bio-chemically closely related to Ruminococcus.
Coprococcus may be used as a microbial biomarker to assess the health of the human gastro-intestinal tract. Gut microorganisms maintain gastro-intestinal health and the mounting evidence of gastro-intestinal problems in autistic children makes a link between autism and intestinal microbiota highly probable.
– In IBS, reduced abundance reported (in association with elevated Ruminococcus spp.)
– In patients with Parkinson’s diseases reduced content of Coprococcus eutactus have been shown. [L]
– Coprococcus may be less prevalent in autistic children compared to neurotypical children; may be result of intestinal disaccharidase deficiencies common in autism.

Lab Results Explained and Tracked
What does it mean if your Coprococcus eutactus result is too high?
Slow intestinal transit producing patterns of general elevation. Slow transit constipation means your colon isn’t moving waste fast enough.
The length of time it takes to complete the trip from mouth to anus is called the transit time. This time varies from person to person but is usually around 24 hours for someone with a fiber rich diet.
There are many factors that determine how long it will take for food to pass through the body. These include:
- what was eaten,
- activity level,
- psychological stress,
personal characteristics and general health.
If your transit time is a concern, there are some steps you can take to speed things up:
Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. Food and digested material is moved through the body by a series of muscle contractions. These muscle contractions are called peristalsis. Being a couch potato slows down peristalsis, thereby decreasing your transit time. This can result in constipation and general discomfort. Exercising increases metabolism which makes the muscle contractions more frequent. This is why some people feel the urge to go to the bathroom right after exercise.
Eat more fiber. Fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, leafy vegetables and fresh fruits will add bulk to your feces and help stimulate the bowel to push food along. Because a quick addition of fiber to your diet can result in gas, bloating and cramps, it should gradually be introduced over time.
Eat probiotic foods. Probiotic foods such as sauerkraut and sourdough bread contain live bacteria cultures which promote healthy digestion-enhancing bacteria that live in the intestines.
Eat less meat. Meat, milk, hard cheese and refined carbohydrates, such as white sugar, white flour and instant oatmeal pass slowly through the digestive tract and can slow peristalsis.
Drink more water. We all know that it is recommended that we drink 8 glasses of water per day. There are many health reasons for this recommendation. In this case, water helps keep the feces moist thereby improving transit time.
Waste that sits in your colon for too long has a greater opportunity to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream and irritate the walls of the intestine. A transit time of more than 72 hours is considered slow and can irritate your colon and increase the risk of candidiasis, diverticulitis or cancer.
Eating right and exercise will certainly help maintain a healthy colon. However, the most powerful way to combat colon cancer is through a screening, such as a colonoscopy. A colonoscopy is recommended every three years for folks over 50. If detected early, nearly 90 percent of colorectal cancers are curable. Keep tabs on your digestive health, especially if there is a family history of colon cancer. Don’t forget to talk to your primary care provider about your colon health.

What Healthmatters Members Are Saying
I have been using Healthmatters.io since 2021. I travel all over the world and use different doctors and health facilities. This site has allowed me to consolidate all my various test results over 14 years in one place. And every doctor that I show this to has been impressed. Because with any health professional I talk to, I can pull up historical results in seconds. It is invaluable. Even going back to the same doctor, they usually do not have the historical results from their facility in a graph format. That has been very helpful.
