Agathobacter rectalis is a gram-positive, butyrate-producing, anaerobic, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Agathobacter with a single flagellate which occur in the rumen content of sheep and cows.[1][2]

It is suggested that Eubacterium rectale is a synonym of A. rectalis,[1] but this is not universally accepted.[3][4]

Reduced numbers of Agathobacter rectalis in the gut may be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.[5]
