Candidatus Ornithobacterium hominis is a gram-negative bacterial species that colonises the human respiratory tract. Despite being related to the bird pathogen O. rhinotracheale, it is not a zoonosis. It has been detected in microbiome data from people around the world, including The Gambia,[2] Madagascar and Central African Republic,[3] Kenya,[4] Mae La refugee camp in Thailand,[5] rural Venezuela,[6] Australia,[7] and Fiji.[8]
