Overview

  • Tatumella ptyseos is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, variably-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 53-54%. Tatumella ptyseos is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Hollis1981; Farmer2005eBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from clinical sources (sputum, throat - CCUG) and human faeces. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. Could be a possible pathogen in humans, but unknown at this stage. A possible gut commensal.
