A bibliometric study was conducted to examine global publication trends on <i>B. thetaiotaomicron</i>, using the Scopus database and scientific metrics software over the period 1965-2024. The study investigated variables such as publication year, reference numbers, article type, country, language, and author affiliation. Among the 2,510 articles reviewed on <i>B. thetaiotaomicron</i>, findings indicated that inflammatory bowel disease was the most frequently studied condition. The journal &ldquo;Anaerobe&rdquo; published the highest number of articles (n = 68). The United States ranked as the leading country, contributing 969 publications. A total of 14 languages were used in the publications, with 96% written in English. Given the increasing prevalence of digestive diseases and the need for more effective treatments than conventional therapies, <i>B. thetaiotaomicron</i> could be considered a promising therapeutic candidate.</span></span></span></span></div> Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bibliometrics, Microbiota 36 46 http://ibj.pasteur.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-6291-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Farzaneh Hasanian-Langroudi farzaneh.hl@yahoo.com 0000-0002-4093-4911 No Prevention of Metabolic Disorders Research Center, Research Institute for Metabolic and Obesity Disorders, Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Mehdi Hedayati hedayati47@gmail.com 0000-0001-5816-775X No Cellular and Molecular Endocrine Research Center, Research Institute for Endocrine Molecular Biology, Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Farzad Esmaeili farzad.esmaeili.t@gmail.com 0000-0002-2265-9995 No Prevention of Metabolic Disorders Research Center, Research Institute for Metabolic and Obesity Disorders, Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Maryam Tohidi tohidi@endocrine.ac.ir 0000-0003-3090-9904 No Prevention of Metabolic Disorders Research Center, Research Institute for Metabolic and Obesity Disorders, Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Seyed Davar Siadat d.siadat@gmail.com 0000-0002-6892-5603 Yes Department of Mycobacteriology and Pulmonary Research, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran
