Overview

  • Dialister propionicifaciens is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, coccobacillus bacterium. Dialister propionicifaciens is probably a rare gut coloniser. (JumasBilak2005; Wade2011bBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from clinical specimens (ulcer, semen, abscess, wound). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
