Overview

  • Bavariicoccus seileri is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 38-39%. Bavariicoccus seileri is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Schmidt2009)



  • This organism has been recovered from surface of cheese. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
