Frisingicoccus

Frisingicoccus is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria in the family Erysipelotrichaceae. The genus was first proposed in 2016 after the isolation of its type species, Frisingicoccus caecimuris, from the cecum of a healthy mouse.^[1] The name is derived from the Latinized form of Freising, the German city where the strain was first recovered, combined with “coccus” referring to its spherical cell shape.
