Coprococcus is a genus of anaerobic cocci which are part of the human faecal microbiota. ^[2] Despite the depletion of Coprococcus was found in colon cancer, there is no evidence for its protective role against colon cancer . ^[3] Coprococcus comes may seem to play a role in cases of resistance against blood pressure medicine. ^[4]
