Overview

  • Bosea massiliensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 66.7-67.9%. Bosea massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (LaScola2003)



  • This organism has been recovered from hospital water supply and human faeces. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
