Overview

  • Clostridium massiliodielmoense is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 28.3%. Clostridium massiliodielmoense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Alou2016a; Alou2018)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Alou2016a). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
