Overview

  • Clostridium minihomine is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Clostridium minihomine is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bilen2018)



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