Overview

  • Paenibacillus pasadenensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Paenibacillus pasadenensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Osman2006; Priest2011Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from an entrance floor. 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. A possible gut commensal.
