Overview

  • Alistipes onderdonkii subsp. vulgaris is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 58%. Alistipes onderdonkii subsp. vulgaris is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Sakamoto2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and clinical sources (abdominal abscess). Can cause opportunistic infections, particularly in immunocompromised people. A possible gut commensal.
