Walnut consumption resulted in higher relative abundance of three bacteria of interest:
Faecalibacterium, Roseburia, and Clostridium.
Bacteroidetes, Ruminococcus gnavus, and Fusobacterium were increased in patients with GAD compared with controls, while
Faecalibacterium, Eubacterium rectale, Sutterella, Lachnospira, and Butyricicoccus were increased in healthy controls.
In
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and remission from healthy individuals, populations of fecal bacteria changed (48).
They also showed a decreased proportion of
Faecalibacterium, a genus with anti-inflammatory activity; this finding has been observed in patients with Crohn's disease.
In animal and human studies that looked at the correlation between microbiome and obesity, it was found that obese individuals had a low microbial diversity, a high percentage of Firmicute and Actinobacteria, and a low percentage of Bacteriodes, Verrucomicrobia and
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii.

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii increase after RYGB in rats and correlate with a reduction in inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and interleukin 6) (19).
