Akkermansia is a genus in the phylum Verrucomicrobiota (Bacteria).[2] The genus was first proposed by Derrien et al. (2004), with the type species Akkermansia muciniphila (gen. nov., sp. nov).[1]
Until 2016 the genus contained a single known species, namely A. muciniphila.[2] In 2016, Akkermansia glycaniphila was isolated in the feces of a reticulated python.[3]
