Overview

  • Atopostipes suicloacalis, (aka Atopostipes suicloacale), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 43.9%. Atopostipes suicloacalis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Cotta2004)



  • This organism has been recovered from pig manure slurry. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • No growth at 33C, so not likely to be a gut coloniser.
