Background The human distal gut microbiota contain more bacterial cells than all of our body's other microbial communities combined. More than 90% of phylogenetic types belong to two divisions, the Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes, with the remaining types distributed among eight other divisions. In the human colon, Clostridium cluster XIVa is 1 of 2 abundantly represented clusters of Firmicutes.Eubacterium spp., members of Clostridium closter XIVa, are a group of anaerobic Gram-positive nonspore-forming rods; strain ATCC 27750 is a human-gut derived bacterium. Little is yet known about the niche this bacterium occupies in the human gut. (HAMAP: EUBE2)
