“Oscillospira is an under-studied anaerobic bacterial genus from Clostridial cluster IV that has resisted cultivation for over a century since the first time it was observed… the observation that the presence of this genus is reduced in diseases that involve inflammation.”[2017]

Parent means this bacteria parent, Ruminococcaceae  is influenced (this and other siblings may be my inference).

INHIBITED BY

• Resistant starch (type II)
• Polymannuronic acid

ENHANCED BY

PubMed Data

There are 70+ studies on PubMed

• Disease:
  • “Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)..whereas Bacteroides, Flavobacterium, and Oscillospira decreased. “[2017]
  • “Oscillospira … were underrepresented among subjects with food allergy.” [2017]
  • “Parkinson’s disease.. reduced content of Oscillospira, ” [2017]
  • “transient ischemic attack ..
• Diet:
  • “whereas Oscillospira, Desulfovibrio, and Ruminoccaceae, typical hydrogenotrophs equipped with multiple carbohydrate active enzymes, were remarkably enriched with mixture of oat-derived β-glucan and microcrystalline cellulose” [2017]
  • “Oscillospira spp., Dehalobacterium spp., Peptococcaeceae, Corynebacterium spp., Aggregatibacter pneumotropica were reduced in  silver nanoparticles spheres exposed group.”[2017]  – the shape made a difference!
  • “the abundance of pernicious bacteria, Oscillospira (P < 0.001) and Treponema (P = 0.011), was decreased with L-glutamine (Gln) supplementation” [2017]
  • “resistant starch type 4 …  enrichment of three Bacteroides species and one each of Parabacteroides, Oscillospira” [2016]
  • “the Med diet decreased the Prevotella and increased the Roseburia and Oscillospira genera” [2016]
  • “. Leanness is a feature of higher fecal levels of Oscillospira in several animal species “[2017]
• Probiotics:
  • “Lactobacillus fermentum FTDC 8312 increase in the members of genera Akkermansia and Oscillospira, “[2017]
  • ” L. casei 32G altered the cecal microbiota with the predominance of Lachnospiraceae IS, and Oscillospira decreasing significantly ” [2015]
  • ” B. longum supported populations close to Anaerostipes, Prevotella, and/or Oscillospira.” [2008]

Bottom Line

Avoid:

• Bifidobacterium longum
• Lactobacillus fermentum
• Saccharomyces boulardii
• Walnuts (and likely pomegranates) 
• Berberine 

Take:

• Lactobacillus Casei
• Gallate – Tea
• Resistant starch (type II & IV)
• Polymannuronic acid
