Overview

  • Coprobacter secundus subsp. similis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 38.4%. Coprobacter secundus subsp. similis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Sakamoto2021a)



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