Overview

  • Slackia faecicanis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 61.2%. Slackia faecicanis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Lawson2005)



  • This organism has been recovered from dog faeces and has been detected in human faeces (Alkhalil2017). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
