'''''Turicibacter''''' is a genus in the Bacillota phylum of bacteria that has most commonly been found in the guts of animals.<ref name=Auchtung2016>{{cite journal|vauthors=Auchtung TA, Holder ME, Gesell JR, Ajami NJ, Duarte RT, Itoh K, Caspi RR, Petrosino JF, Horai R, Zárate-Bladés CR|title=Complete Genome Sequence of ''Turicibacter'' sp.

==Phylogeny== The position of ''Turicibacter'' within the Bacillota could not be resolved using 16S rRNA gene-based analyses. However, it was tentatively placed in the class Bacilli, then the class Erysipelotrichia.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Bosshard|first1=PP|veditors=De Vos P, Garrity GM, Jones D, Krieg NR, Ludwig W, Rainey FA, Schleifer K, Whitman WB|title=Bergey’s manual of systematic bacteriology, 2nd ed.

In a tree built using a concatenated protein alignment containing data from two draft ''Turicibacter'' genomes, the group was placed at the base of the class Bacilli.<ref>{{cite journal|vauthors=Segata N, Börnigen D, Morgan XC, Huttenhower C|title=PhyloPhlAn is a new method for improved phylogenetic and taxonomic placement of microbes|journal= Nature Communications|date=2013|volume=4|pages=2304|pmid= 23942190|doi=10.1038/ncomms3304|pmc=3760377}}</ref> Later analyses that also included amino acid sequences predicted by a complete ''Turicibacter'' genome came to the same conclusion.<ref name="Auchtung2016" />
