To clarify the possible obesogenic potential of this bacterial species and to unravel the underlying mechanism, we investigated the role of <jats:italic>C. ramosum</jats:italic> in obesity development in gnotobiotic mice. Mice were associated with a simplified human intestinal (SIHUMI) microbiota of eight bacterial species, including <jats:italic>C. ramosum</jats:italic> , with the SIHUMI microbiota except <jats:italic>C. ramosum</jats:italic> (SIHUMIw/oCra), or with <jats:italic>C. ramosum</jats:italic> only (Cra) and fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or a low-fat diet (LFD). Parameters related to the development of obesity and metabolic diseases were compared. After 4 weeks of HFD feeding, the mouse groups did not differ in energy intake, diet digestibility, gut permeability, and parameters of low-grade inflammation. However, SIHUMI and Cra mice fed the HFD gained significantly more body weight and body fat and displayed higher food efficiency than SIHUMIw/oCra mice fed the HFD. Gene expression of glucose transporter 2 ( <jats:italic>Glut2</jats:italic> ) in jejunal mucosa and of fatty acid translocase ( <jats:italic>CD36</jats:italic> ) in ileal mucosa was significantly increased in the obese SIHUMI and Cra mice compared with the less obese SIHUMIw/oCra mice. The data demonstrate that the presence of <jats:italic>C. ramosum</jats:italic> in SIHUMI and Cra mice enhanced diet-induced obesity.
