Overview

  • Corynebacterium jeddahense is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively 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 67.2%. Corynebacterium jeddahense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Edouard2014)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Edouard2014). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
