Blautia wexlerae is an anaerobic and gram-positive bacteria that lives in the human intestine.[1][2] Very little is known about this bacteria and its effects on human health.
One study found that intestinal B. wexlerae descreases obesity and diabetes in Japanese adults. It also found that B. wexlerae produces acetylcholine and carbohydrate metabolites (ex. succinate, lactate, acetate). These may modify the gut environment, including the bacterial and SCFA composition of the gut microbiota. Thus, B. wexlerae may offer various, numerous, and diverse benefits for health maintenance.[3]
B. wexlerae has also shown to be positively associated with children with higher cognitive function scores.[4]
