Overview

  • Mogibacterium vescum is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, 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 46%. Mogibacterium vescum is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Nakazawa2000; Editorial2011bBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from dental disease and human faeces. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. Known to cause illness. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
