Overview

  • Phenylobacterium haematophilum is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, filamentous bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 67.8%. Phenylobacterium haematophilum is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Abraham2008)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces, freshwater, and clinical sources (blood - CCUG). Is a rare opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
