Dolosigranulum pigrum

Dolosigranulum pigrum is a Gram-positive bacterium from the genus of Dolosigranulum. Dolosigranulum pigrum can cause infections in the upper respiratory tract and nosocomial pneumonia and sepsis. The metabolism of this organism has been reconstructed. It is available as a genome-scale metabolic model, which indicates incomplete biochemical pathways within the central carbon metabolism. Consequently, its metabolism depends on other members of its microbial habitat, such as Staphylococcus aureus, whose growth D. pigrum negatively impacts..
