Overview

  • Corynebacterium neomassiliense is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 66.8%. Corynebacterium neomassiliense is probably a rare gut coloniser.



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