Overview

  • Nigerium massiliense is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Nigerium massiliense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Traore2016c)



  • This organism has been recovered from the faeces of a Nigerian child with kwashiorkor. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
