Bacillus flexus is an
bacterium
. The endospores are ellipsoidal, located in central/paracentral, unswollen sporangia. In laboratory conditions, it produces opaque, creamish, raised-margin colonies at 30 ± 2°C when incubated for 24–72 hrs. on tryptic soy agar. This bacterial species may be isolated from feces (poultry) and soil.
Human
This species has been recently proposed to be transferred into the genus Priestia.[3] The correct nomenclature would then be Priestia flexa.
