Overview

  • Alistipes provencensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 58.3%. Alistipes provencensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bellali2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Bilen2018e). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
