Taylorella is a genus comprising Gram-negative, short rod-shaped, chemoorganotrophic bacteria that include species that are the causative agents of contagious equine metritis.[1][2] The name Taylorella serves as a dedication to C.E.D. Taylor, the scientist who identified the only species originally included in this genus.[1][2][3] They are non-motile microaerophiles that are able to be isolated in pure culture on chocolate agar. .[1][3]
