Anaerostipes faecalis is a species of Gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria in the genus Anaerostipes . It was first isolated from the feces of a healthy pig in South Korea and formally described as a new species in 2021.^[1]

The bacterium is non-motile, non-spore-forming, and produces short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate, from carbohydrate fermentation. Colonies are circular, white, and convex on brain heart infusion agar supplemented with defibrinated sheep blood.
