Overview

  • Lactobacillus timonensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Lactobacillus timonensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Afouda2017; Hammes2011Bergey)



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