Overview

  • Paracoccus yeei is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 62%. Paracoccus yeei is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Daneshvar2003)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces, bile, and clinical sources (blood, eye, peritonitis - CCUG). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
