Overview

  • Lactobacillus pasteurii is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 45.4%. Lactobacillus pasteurii is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Rossi2016; Cousin2013)



  • This organism has been recovered from unknown origin. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
