Overview

  • Ureibacillus massiliensis, (aka Bacillus massiliensis), is a Gram-negative, spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Ureibacillus massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Alou2017; Hugon2013a; Khelaifia2015; Pham2017; Roux2004; Roux2013; Senghor2017; Senghor2017a; Ricaboni2016b; Valles2021; Mailhe2016b; Ricaboni2016d; Diop2016; Renvoise2009; Beye2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from clinical sources (cerebrospinal fluid) and human faeces. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread (notes: opportunistic in immunocompromised patients). It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
