Overview

  • Bacteroides ndongoniae is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 47.7%. Bacteroides ndongoniae is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Andrieu2018)



  • This organism has been recovered from human right colon (Andrieu2018); a 76-year-old woman with oesophagitis. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
