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.

Atopobium vaginae was discovered in 1999.^[2] 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.
