Overview

  • Microbacterium mitrae is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 73.1%. Microbacterium mitrae is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Kim2011c)



  • This organism has been recovered from Korean salted Turbin shell and human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
