Overview

  • Bariatricus massiliensis is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Bariatricus massiliensis is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Bessis2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Bessis2016). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • In 41% of Europeans (unseenbio.com). Minor coloniser.
