| The phylum Bacteroidetes is composed of three large classes of bacteria that are widely distributed in the environment, including in soil, in sediments, sea water and in the guts of animals. Phylum (plural: phyla) is a taxon used in the classification of animals, adopted from the Greek phylai the clan-based voting groups in Greek city-states. ...

By far, the Bacteroidales class are the most well-studied, including the genus Bacteroides (an abundant organism in the feces of warm-blooded animals including humans), and Porphyromonas, a group of organisms inhabiting the human oral cavity. A class is the rank in the scientific classification of organisms in biology below Phylum and above Order. ...
Species etc. ...
Horse feces Feces, faeces, or fæces (see spelling differences) is a waste product from an animals digestive tract expelled through the anus (or cloaca) during defecation. ...
The mouth, also known as the buccal cavity or the oral cavity, is the opening through which an animal or human takes in food. ...
Members of the genus Bacteroides are opportunistic pathogens. Rarely are members of the other two classes pathogenic to humans. Opportunistic infections are infections caused by organisms and usually do not cause disease in a person with a healthy immune system, but can affect people with a poorly functioning or suppressed immune system. ...
A pathogen or infectious agent is a biological agent that causes disease or illness to its host. ...
From time to time the Bacteroidetes are known to fill in for the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.
Researcher Jeffrey Gordon and his colleagues found that obese humans and mice had intestinal flora (gut flora) with a lower percentage of a family of bacteria called Bacteroidetes and more Firmicutes. However, they are unsure if Bacteroidetes prevent obesity or if these intestinal flora are merely preferentially selected by intestinal conditions in those who are not obese.[1][2][3] Obesity is an excess storage of fat and can affect any mammal, such as the mouse on the left. ...
Escherichia coli, one of the many species of bacteria present in the human gut. ...
Classes Bacilli Clostridia Mollicutes The Firmicutes are a division of bacteria, most of which have Gram-positive cell wall structure. ...
