Kurthia is a bacterial genus from the family Caryophanaceae. Kurthia is a gram-positive, non-spore forming, rod-like bacteria.[1] This strain has been isolated from diarrhea samples, however, no evidence has been brought forward suggesting it is pathogenic in nature.[2] It has also been found in various meats, milks, and soils.
Kurthia species produce carbamoylase and hydantoinase. They also can produce L-Proline from glutamic acid or aspartic acid with the aid of a detergent.[3]
