"We found that DNA variation in one of these genes, known as IRGM, was associated with the presence of increased levels of a type of microbe known as Prevotella."
The research thus suggests that the IRGM gene could play a role in influencing the overall makeup of an individuals microbiota, pushing it towards Prevotella dominance instead of an alternative community dominated by a closely related bacteria, Bacteroides.

Some might find this interesting?
I've seen prevotella mentioned a bit.
