Overview

  • Achromobacter insuavis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, variably-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 68.0%. Achromobacter insuavis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Vandamme2013)



  • This organism has been recovered from clinical sources (sputum) and water sources (pool). It is an opportunistic pathogen. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Obligate aerobe; unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
