Blautia wexlerae
species of bacterium
Blautia wexlerae is an anaerobic and gram-positive bacteria that lives in the human intestine.
Studies of gut microbiota have found indications that higher levels of B. wexlerae may decrease obesity in mice and humans. B. wexlerae produces acetylcholine and carbohydrate metabolites (ex. succinate, lactate, acetate). These may modify the gut environment, including the bacterial and SCFA composition of the gut microbiota. Thus, B. wexlerae may offer various, numerous, and diverse benefits for health maintenance.
B. wexlerae has also shown to be positively associated with children with higher cognitive function scores.

Why this record matters
“Blautia wexlerae” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Blautia, wexlerae and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25840444. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
