Overview

  • Enterococcus devriesei is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 40%. Enterococcus devriesei is a common gut coloniser. (Svec2005)



  • This organism has been recovered from animal sources and human faeces (Bilen2018e). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
