Curtobacterium is a genus of bacteria of the order Actinomycetales.^[1] They are Gram-positive soil organisms.^[3]

An analysis of Curtobacterium sequences from around the globe revealed the genus to be a cosmopolitan terrestrial taxon, with isolates derived primarily from plant and soil habitat.^[4]
