Aggregatibacter is a genus in the phylum Proteobacteria (Bacteria), which contains three species, namely:

  • A. actinomycetemcomitans ( (Klinger 1912) Nørskov-Lauritsen and Kilian 2006, (type species of the genus); Greek noun aktis, aktinos (ἀκτίς, ἀκτῖνος), a beam; Greek mukēs -ētos, mushroom or other fungus; New Latin actinomyces -etis, an actinomycete; Latin comitans, accompanying; New Latin actinomycetemcomitans, accompanying an actinomycete)[1]
