Overview

  • Arthrobacter luteolus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile, bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Arthrobacter luteolus is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Wauters2000)



  • This organism has been recovered from an infected surgical wound. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. Can cause opportunistic infections, particularly in immunocompromised people. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Strict aerobe, so unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
