Overview

  • Yersinia frederiksenii is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 48%. Yersinia frederiksenii is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Farmer1985; Ursing1980; Bottone2005Bergey)



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