Overview

  • Olegusella massiliensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 49.2%. Olegusella massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from the vaginal flora of a patient with bacterial vaginosis. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
