Overview

  • Parabacteroides bouchesdurhonensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 40.8%. Parabacteroides bouchesdurhonensis is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Dione2018a; Yimagou2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (CCUG, Yimagou2020). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • In 15% of Europeans (unseenbio.com). Minor coloniser.

    Bacteroides and Parabacteroides species are components of the colon resident microbiota, and both genera belong to the order Bacteroidales. [PMID: 21655744] Cells are Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile and rod-shaped, and 0.8-1.6μm in size. Major end-products are acetic and succinic acids.
