Atopobium is a genus of Actinobacteria, in the family Coriobacteriaceae.
Atopobium species are anaerobic bacteria, Gram-positive rod-shaped or elliptical found as single elements or in pairs or short chains.
The atopobium vaginae was discovered in 1999 by Rodriguez [2] as a common commensal of the woman's vagina.
This is an facultative anaerobic bacteria, Gram-positive rod-shaped or elliptical cocobacilli, which form small colonies on blood agar at 37 °C is also positive for acid phosphatase. It can be identified by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing,[3] and is associated with bacterial vaginosis.[4][5]
