Overview

  • Actinomyces massiliensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Actinomyces massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Renvoise2009a)



  • This organism has been recovered from human blood. Could be a possible pathogen in humans, but unknown at this stage. A possible gut commensal.
