Overview

  • Massilia norwichensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Massilia norwichensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Orthova2015)



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