Overview

  • Adhaeribacter aquaticus is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 40.0%. Adhaeribacter aquaticus is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from a potable water biofilm. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Obligate aerobe suggests it is unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
