Oxalobacter paraformigenes is a Gram negative, non-spore-forming, oxalate-degrading anaerobic bacterium that was first isolated from human fecal samples.[1] O. paraformigenes may have a role in calcium oxalate kidney stone disease because of its unique ability to utilize oxalate as its primary carbon source.[1]
