E3 — Strong human clinical evidence
E2 — Moderate human evidence
E1 — Limited / preliminary
Enterocloster bolteae relative abundance was significantly higher in individuals with prior exposure to clindamycin, fluoroquinolones, or flucloxacillin, with disruptions persisting for 4–8 years post-prescription, in a multi-cohort observational study of 14,979 Swedish adults (SCAPIS, SIMPLER, MOS cohorts).

E3 — Strong human clinical evidence
E2 — Moderate human evidence
E1 — Limited / preliminary
Higher Enterocloster bolteae relative abundance was positively associated with elevated BMI, waist-hip ratio, serum triglycerides, and C-reactive protein in the SCAPIS cohort (n≈10,456), consistent with a cardiometabolic risk profile.
