Description Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, formerly classified as Fusobacterium prausnitzii, is a non-spore forming and non-motile obligate anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is an important commensal bacterium of the human gut flora. Recent medical research has suggested that low levels of F.prausnitzii may be associoted with Crohn's disease and other metabolic diseases.
