Atopobium is a genus of Actinomycetota, in the family Coriobacteriaceae. Atopobium species are anaerobic, Gram-positive rod-shaped or elliptical bacteria found as single elements or in pairs or short chains.

Contents

Atopobium vaginae was discovered in 1999. [3] This is a facultative anaerobic bacteria, which form small colonies on blood agar at 37 °C is also positive for acid phosphatase. This species has now been reclassified into the genus Fannyhessea following phylogenetic studies.

Clinical significance

The genus Atopobium may be associated with bacterial vaginosis. [4] [5] [6]

The genus may play a role in the development of Colorectal cancer. While the genus has been reported as overrepresented in feces of patients, [7] A. minutum has conversely shown a mild apoptotic effect on cancer cells in vitro and has been suggested to be comparable to probiotic bacteria in regards to colorectal cancer. [8]
