Overview

---

Lachnoclostridium edouardi is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Lachnoclostridium edouardi is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Traore2017)

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