Overview

  • Kurthia sp. Dielmo, (aka Kurthia timonensis), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Kurthia sp. Dielmo is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Is a known gut commensal. Robust growth can have positive consequences for gut health.
