Overview

  • Acidovorax wautersii is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 67.1%. Acidovorax wautersii is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Vaneechoutte2013)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces, clinical sources and the environment. Is a rare opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
