Overview

  • Succinatimonas hippei is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 11 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 40.3%. Succinatimonas hippei is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Morotomi2010)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
