Overview

  • Streptomyces thermovulgaris is a Gram-positive, exosporous, aerobic, non-motile, filamentous bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Streptomyces thermovulgaris is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Kim1999)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces, and bovine faeces. 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.
