Overview

  • Turicimonas muris is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 44.0%. Turicimonas muris is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Lagkouvardos2016)



  • Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
