Overview

  • Rubeoparvulum massiliense is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 43.8%. Rubeoparvulum massiliense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Alou2016g)



  • This organism has been recovered from the faeces of a malnourished child, Senegal. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
