Faecalicoccus is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria in the family Erysipelotrichaceae. Members of this genus are anaerobic and were originally isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of animals.[1]
Taxonomy
The genus Faecalicoccus was first described in 2014 to accommodate the type species, Faecalicoccus acidiformans, which was isolated from the caecum of a chicken.[1] In the same study, Streptococcus pleomorphus was reclassified as Faecalicoccus pleomorphus.[1]
Species
- Faecalicoccus acidiformans, the type species, was first isolated from the chicken caecum.
- Faecalicoccus pleomorphus was originally named Streptococcus pleomorphus in 1977 and was reclassified in 2014 based on phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence.
