Overview

  • Blautia faecicola is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, oval-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 44.7%. Blautia faecicola is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Kim2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Kim2020). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
