Overview

  • Planococcus massiliensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 46.0%. Planococcus massiliensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Seck2015)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
