Overview

  • Uruburuella suis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 55%. Uruburuella suis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Vela2005)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and clinical sources from pigs. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread (notes: animal pathogen). It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
