Overview

  • Anaeroglobus geminatus is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 5 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 51.8%. Anaeroglobus geminatus is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Carlier2002; Carlier2011aBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from gastrointestinal tract (Carlier2002), a wound (CCUG) and mouth. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread (notes: opportunistic in immunocompromised patients). It is an opportunistic pathogen. Is a known gut commensal.
