Studies have shown that low levels of the commensal bacterium *F. prausnitzii* are frequently associated with inflammatory conditions, particularly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This beneficial gut microbe is known to exert powerful anti-inflammatory effects through various mechanisms, including producing key metabolites and modulating the immune system. Understanding how *F. prausnitzii* affects inflammation is critical for developing new therapeutic strategies for a range of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
