Overview

  • Streptococcus pluranimalium is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 38.5%. Streptococcus pluranimalium is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Devriese1999)



  • This organism has been recovered from subclinical mastitis in a cow. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread (notes: animal pathogen). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
