Overview

  • Khelaifiella massiliensis is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Khelaifiella massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Alou2017)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Alou2017). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
