Overview

  • Drancourtella massiliensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 45.2%. Drancourtella massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Durand2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Durand2016). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
