Overview

  • Prevotella pleuritidis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 45.4%. Prevotella pleuritidis is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from pleural fluid from a patient with suppurative pleuritis. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread (notes: opportunistic in immunocompromised patients). Can cause opportunistic infections, particularly in immunocompromised people. A possible gut commensal.
