Overview

  • Oceanobacillus oncorhynchi is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 38.5%. Oceanobacillus oncorhynchi is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Romano2006; Yumoto2005a; Heyrman2011aBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from the skin of a fish. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Likely gut non-coloniser because this organism doesn't grow below pH 9.
