Overview

  • Eubacterium oxidoreducens is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 35.7%. Eubacterium oxidoreducens is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Wade2011Bergeys; Krumholz2004)



  • This organism has been recovered from rumen. Has also been detected in human faeces (probably transient). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
