Overview

  • Corynebacterium lujinxingii is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 61.2–64.4%. Corynebacterium lujinxingii is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Zhang2021)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Zhang2021). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
