Segatella sinensis is a Gram-negative, anaerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacterium.[1] The species belongs to the genus Segatella[2] and was previously identified as Segatella copri (also Prevotella copri) before being identified as a distinct species in 2023.

The Segatella genus dominates in individuals living in non-Westernized populations.[3][4][5] S. copri and S. sinensis frequently co-occur: both species are present in 13% of Westernized, and 79% of non-Westernized populations.[6]

S. sinensis, specifically, is also associated with the male sex.[6]

Phylogeny

[edit]

S. sinensis was first identified as a distinct species in 2023, when the genetic diversity of Segatella copri was further investigated through the isolation of 44 distinct strains.[6] Seven distinct Segatella copri-related species were defined: S. sinensis, S. copri, S. brunsvicensis, S. brasiliensis, S. hominis, S. sanihominis, and S. sinica.

Locus of enterocyte effacement

[edit]

S. sinensis contains the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE): a pathogenicity island which encodes a secretion system proteins responsible for attaching to and damaging the intestinal lining.[7][8] LEE was absent in the other Segatella copri-derived species and can therefore be seen as a unique identifier.

Pathology

[edit]

An overabundance of Segatella species has been linked to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis in Westernized populations.[9][10] Other studies, however, have failed to establish the same association. Some studies even linked Segatella species to an improved metabolic health.[11][12] The exact effect of Segatella species on human health has therefore yet to be clarified.[13]

The presence of S. sinensis has been associated with a 60% reduced chance of visceral fat[6] and is negatively associated with the number of triglycerides and lipoprotein density. The bacterium has also been positively associated with healthy diet scores.[6]
