Erysipelothrix is a genus of bacteria containing four described species: Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Erysipelothrix tonsillarum, Erysipelothrix inopinata and Erysipelothrix larvae.[1][2][3][4] Additional species have been proposed based on DNA-DNA hybridization studies.[5][6] "The hallmark of Erysipelothrix is the presence of a type B cell wall, in which the peptide bridge is formed between amino acids at positions 2 and 4 of adjacent peptide side-chains and not, as in the vast majority of bacteria, between amino acids at positions 3 and 4."[3]

The best-known species within the genus is

tonsils of healthy pigs and cattle.[7]
Disease caused by E. inopinata or E. larvae has not been described.

Bacteria of genus Erysipelothrix are straight or slightly curved, slender, nonmotile

acid-fast.[8]
