Overview

  • Collinsella tanakaei is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 11 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 60.8%. Collinsella tanakaei is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Nagai2010a)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Is a known gut commensal.
