The Acidaminococcus genus was created in 1969 and actually counts as two species with standing in nomenclature: A. fermentans and A. intestini. Cells belonging to this genus are Gram-negative, anaerobic cocci, generally isolated from the digestive tract of mammals [5], [6]. [2017]

Disease

• Rosacea ” reduced abundance of Peptococcaceae family unknown genus, Methanobrevibacter (genus), Slackia (genus), Coprobacillus (genus), Citrobacter (genus), and Desulfovibrio (genus), and increased abundance of Acidaminococcus(genus), Megasphaera (genus),” [2017]
• ” type 1 diabetes mellitus … the composition of Haemophilus, Lachnospira, Dialister, and Acidaminococcus was decreased.” [2016]

Diet

• “Acidaminococcus, Bifidobacterium, Megasphaera and Mitsuokella were greater (P< 0·05) in moderate-protein, moderate-carbohydrate-fed kittens. (compared to High-protein, low-carbohydrate ) [2013]
• “that glutamate is fermented … via the hydroxyglutarate pathway by Acidaminococcus fermentans” [1974]

Prebiotics

Probiotics

• ” Bacillus natto and Lactobacillus acidophilus …Haemophilus decreased, Ruminococcus decreased, Clostridium colinum decreased, Acidaminococcus increased and Megamonas increased individually.” [2008]

Antibiotics

• “Fosfomycin ..14% of Acidaminococcus fermentans strains were resistant. no Acidaminococcus fermentans strains showed resistance to the (penicillin G) antibiotic at this concentration.” [1992]

Bottom Line

Avoid

• Bacillus natto (likely all bacillus)
• Lactobacillus acidophilus
• Glutamate

Take

• High-protein, low-carbohydrate diet
