Overview

  • Nesterenkonia massiliensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 62.5%. Nesterenkonia massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Edouard2014a)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Edouard2014a). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
