Acidovorax temperans

Bacteria

Overview

Acidovorax temperans is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 62-66%. Acidovorax temperans is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Willems1990)

This organism has been recovered from clinical sources (urine) and sludge. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread (notes: opportunistic in immunocompromised patients). Is a rare opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
