The genus Akkermansia is populated by a multitude of biological species with a wide distribution in the animal kingdom
Our data support the concept that the genetic diversity of Akkermansia should be taken into account in experimental settings. They also call for sequencing efforts to characterize the wider genetic diversity of Akkermansia bacteria.
