Prevotella copri

Contested   A plant- and fibre-diet-associated species with a genuinely double-edged reputation — expanded in new-onset rheumatoid arthritis, yet a marker of healthy high-fibre diets elsewhere.

Associated with these conditions

Linked to worsened insulin resistance in some studies via branched-chain amino acids, yet beneficial on fibre-rich diets in others.

Disputed / mixed studies conflict

Reduced Prevotella is one recurring finding, but the ASD microbiome literature is inconsistent and prone to overclaiming.

Preliminary studies conflict

Reduced Prevotella is one of the more reproducible MS shifts and rises again on treatment.

Moderate evidence

Reduced Prevotella is among the most reproducible Parkinson’s findings.

Moderate evidence

Markedly expanded in new-onset, untreated rheumatoid arthritis — one of the field’s stronger single-organism links.
