Overview

  • Longicatena caecimuris is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Longicatena caecimuris is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Lagkouvardos2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from mouse caeca. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
