Overview

  • Peptoniphilus catoniae is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 34.4%. Peptoniphilus catoniae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Patel2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (CCUG, Patel2016). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Is a known gut commensal. Robust growth can have positive consequences for gut health.
