Overview

  • Lascolabacillus massiliensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Lascolabacillus massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Beye2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from the faeces of a healthy child from Senegal. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
