Overview

  • Limosilactobacillus walteri is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 38.8%. Limosilactobacillus walteri is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Saroha2023)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and used as a probiotic. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
