Overview

  • Bittarella massiliensis is a Gram-negative, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Bittarella massiliensis is a common gut coloniser. (Bilen2018; Durand2017c)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Bilen2018e). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
