Overview

  • Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis, (aka Enterobacter xiangfangensis), is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 55.2%. Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Sutton2018; Gu2014)



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