'''''Vagococcus''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of [gram-positive](/source/gram-positive) bacteria.

== History ==
The first ''Vagococcus'' species, ''[Vagococcus fluvialis](/source/Vagococcus_fluvialis)'', was isolated from chicken feces in 1974. However, the genus was not recognized as distinct until 1989.<ref name=Wang2011/>
