Overview

  • Actinomyces timonensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Actinomyces timonensis is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from a clinical osteo-articular specimen. It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
