Overview

  • Lachnobacterium bovis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, variably-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 4 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 33.9%. Lachnobacterium bovis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Whitford2001; Rainey2011tBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and bovine faeces. 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. Is a known gut commensal.
