Overview

  • Bifidobacterium reuteri is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, pleiomorph rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 61.3%. Bifidobacterium reuteri is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Endo2012)



  • This organism has been recovered from faeces of a common marmoset. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
