Peptoniphilus asaccharolyticus is a species of bacteria belonging to the family Peptoniphilaceae. The cells are small, spherical, and can occur in short chains, in pairs or individually. [2] Peptostreptococcus are slow-growing bacteria sometimes resistant to antimicrobial drugs. [3]

Peptoniphilus asaccharolyticus is present as part of the microbiota of the lower reproductive tract of women and has been recovered from women with pelvic inflammatory disease. [4] [5]
