Overview

  • Limosilactobacillus ingluviei, (aka Lactobacillus ingluviei), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 49%. Limosilactobacillus ingluviei is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Niamsup2003; Baele2003)



  • This organism has been recovered from pigeon crops and intestines. 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. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
