Overview

  • Merdibacter massiliensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Merdibacter massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Ricaboni2016a)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and ileum (Ricaboni2016a). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
