Overview

  • Azotobacter vinelandii is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, oval-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Azotobacter vinelandii is unlikely to be a gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from soil. 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
  • Obligate aerobe and low optimum temperature suggest it is not a gut coloniser.
