Overview

  • Erysipelothrix larvae is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively 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 36.3%. Erysipelothrix larvae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bang2015)



  • This organism has been recovered from the gut of the rhinoceros beetle. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
