Overview

  • Corynebacterium pacaense is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 63.7%. Corynebacterium pacaense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bellali2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Bellali2019). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
