Overview

  • Blautia liquoris is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Blautia liquoris is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Lu2021)



  • This organism has been recovered from a mud fermentation cellar, China. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
