Overview

  • Pseudoclavibacter sp. Timone, (aka Pseudoclavibacter massiliense), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 67%. Pseudoclavibacter sp. Timone is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Manaia2004)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and clinical sources. Could be a possible pathogen in humans, but unknown at this stage. A possible gut commensal.
