Vagococcus is a genus of gram-positive bacteria. They are motile or nonmotile cocci which do not form spores.[2] The name Vagococcus comes from Latin adjective vagus meaning wandering; and the Greek noun coccus a grain or berry, Vagococcus - wandering coccus, because Vagococcus fluvialis and some other Vagococcus species are motile, an unusual property for a lactic acid bacteria.[3]
