Actinomyces urogenitalis is a species of Gram-positive and facultative anaerobic bacteria in the genus Actinomyces (family Actinomycetaceae). It was formally described in 2000 after isolation from clinical specimens taken from the human urogenital tract.[1]
The specific epithet urogenitalis combines Latin urina (urine) and genitalis (genital), referencing the anatomical source of the original isolates.
