Alistipes is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidetes (Bacteria).[1]
Etymology

Latin adjective alius, other; Latin masculine gender noun stipes, a log, stock, post, trunk of a tree, stick; New Latin masculine gender noun alistipes, the other stick.[2]
Species
The genus contains 5 species, namely[2]
- A. finegoldii ( Rautio et al. 2003, ; New Latin genitive case masculine gender noun finegoldii, of Finegold, in honor of Sydney Finegold, a researcher in anaerobic bacteriology and infectious diseases clinician.)[3]
- A. indistinctus ( Nagai et al. 2010, ; Latin masculine gender adjective indistinctus, not properly distinguished or indistinct, referring to the biochemical characteristics compared with those of phylogenetically related species.)[4]
- A. onderdonkii ( Song et al. 2006, ; New Latin genitive case masculine gender noun onderdonkii, of Onderdonk, to honour Andrew B. Onderdonk, an American microbiologist, for his contribution to increased knowledge about intestinal microbiota and anaerobic bacteria.)[5]
- A. putredinis ( (Weinberg et al. 1937) Rautio et al. 2003, (Type species of the genus).; Latin noun putredo -inis, rottenness, putridity; Latin genitive case noun putredinis, of putridity.)[3]
- A. shahii ( Song et al. 2006, ; New Latin genitive case masculine gender noun shahii, of Shah, to honour Haroun N. Shah, for his contribution to anaerobic bacteriology.)[5]
