Overview

  • Mycobacterium gordonae is a Gram-variable, 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 66.6%. Mycobacterium gordonae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bojalil1962; Kim2014a; Magee2012Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from clinical sources (brochial lavage - CCUG) and gastric lavage (CCUG). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread (notes: human and animal pathogen; opportunistic in immunocompromised patients). It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
