Overview

  • Metamycoplasma anseris, (aka Mycoplasma anseris), is a Gram-stain unknown, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 24.7-26.0%. Metamycoplasma anseris is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Bradbury1988)



  • This organism has been recovered from geese phallus and cloaca, Hungary. 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.
