Overview

  • Kalamiella piersonii is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 57.1%. Kalamiella piersonii is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Singh2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (CCUG), and metal surfaces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
