Overview

  • Corynebacterium suicordis 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. Corynebacterium suicordis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Vela2003; Bernard2012Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from pig clinical sources. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread (notes: animal pathogen). Could be a possible pathogen in humans, but unknown at this stage. A possible gut commensal.
