Overview

  • Actinomyces pacaensis is a Gram-positive, Spore reported, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Actinomyces pacaensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Fonkou2018a)



  • This organism has been recovered from sputum, France. Is a rare opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
