Overview

  • Mycolicibacterium neoaurum, (aka Mycobacterium neoaurum), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Mycolicibacterium neoaurum is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from clinical isolates and soil. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread (notes: opportunistic in immunocompromised patients). Is a known human pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
