Overview

  • Cronobacter condimenti is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Cronobacter condimenti is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Joseph2012)



  • This organism has been recovered from spiced meat, Slovakia. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
