Vagococcus is a genus of gram-positive bacteria. They are motile or nonmotile cocci which do not form spores.{{cite journal|author1=Wang L |author2=Cui YS |author3=Kwon CS |author4=Lee ST |author5=Lee JS |author6=Im WT |title=Vagococcus acidifermentans sp. nov., isolated from an acideogenic fermentation bioreactor |journal=International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology |date=2011 |volume=61 |pages=1123–1126 |doi=10.1099/ijs.0.022087-0 |pmid=20543153|doi-access=free }} 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.{{cite journal|author1=Collins MD|author2=Ash C|author3=Farrow JAE|author4=Wallbanks S|author5=Williams AM|title=16S Ribosomal ribonucleic acid sequence analyses of lactococci and related taxa.

History
The first Vagococcus species, Vagococcus fluvialis, was isolated from chicken feces in 1974. However, the genus was not recognized as distinct until 1989.
