Overview

  • Actinomyces minihominis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. Actinomyces minihominis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bilen2018)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (CCUG). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
