Overview

  • Streptomyces lividans is a Gram-positive, exosporous, aerobic, non-motile, filamentous bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Streptomyces lividans is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Kampfer2012Bergey; Shirling1972)



  • Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Streptomyces, being aerobic and having lower optimum growth temperatures are unlikely to be gut colonisers.
