Overview

  • Corynebacterium urinapleomorphum is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, pleiomorph rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 63.4%. Corynebacterium urinapleomorphum is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from the urine of a baby. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
