Overview

  • Dietzia cercidiphylli is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 72.6%. Dietzia cercidiphylli is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Li2008)



  • This organism has been recovered from surface-sterilised plant tissue, China. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
