Overview

  • Flavobacterium lindanitolerans is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, gliding, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 31%. Flavobacterium lindanitolerans is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Jit2008)



  • This organism has been recovered from contaminated soil, clinical sources (wound, peritoneal - CCUG) and human faeces. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
