Overview

  • Arthrobacter gandavensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 65%. Arthrobacter gandavensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Storms2003)



  • This organism has been recovered from cattle infections. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread (notes: animal pathogen). It is an opportunistic pathogen. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
