Overview

  • Brachybacterium ginsengisoli is a Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, oval-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 71%. Brachybacterium ginsengisoli is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Hoang2014)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and soil in Korea. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Borderline cold mesophile, so unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
