Overview

  • Corynebacterium provencense is a Gram-positive, exosporous, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Corynebacterium provencense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Ndongo2017)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Ndongo2017). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
