Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens is a species of spiral-shaped, Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic bacteria in the genus Anaerobiospirillum, first described in 1976.[1] It is primarily found in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals, such as dogs and cats, and has also been implicated in rare but significant clinical infections.

The species name succiniciproducens refers to the bacterium's ability to produce succinic acid as a major fermentation product.
