Overview

  • Prevotella multisaccharivorax is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 5 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 48.5-49.9%. Prevotella multisaccharivorax is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Sakamoto2005)



  • This organism has been recovered from subgingival dental plaque from patients with periodontitis. 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.
    • QUIRKS
  • In 14% of Europeans (unseenbio.com). Minor coloniser.
