Overview

  • Paucilactobacillus suebicus, (aka Lactobacillus suebicus), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 40.4%. Paucilactobacillus suebicus is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Rossi2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from fruit mashes, Germany. 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.
