Limosilactobacillus coleohominis is a species of Gram-positive, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family Lactobacillaceae. It was originally described as Lactobacillus coleohominis in 2001 based on isolates from the human vagina and cervix, and reassigned to the genus Limosilactobacillus during a major phylogenomic reclassification of the genus Lactobacillus in 2020.[1][2]
Ecology
L. coleohominis was originally isolated from the vaginal tracts of healthy women as well as from urine and cervical samples, suggesting its role as a commensal in the human urogenital tract. The specific epithet "coleohominis" is derived from the Greek koleos (vagina) and Latin hominis (of humans), reflecting its host and site of origin. It has also been isolated from the cecal contents of pigs. [3]
