Overview

  • Vagococcus teuberi is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, diplococci bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 34.1%. Vagococcus teuberi is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Wullschleger2018)



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