Representative Alishewanella rods showing genus-level variation. Two of six cells bear a single polar flagellum to represent motile members, while the original A. fetalis description is nonmotile; this reconstruction is not a micrograph or diagnostic image.

Alishewanella is a genus of Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacteria within the class Gammaproteobacteria. Primarily known as environmental organisms, Alishewanella species have been identified in the microbiome of deep endometriosis—both in vaginal samples and within endometriotic lesions themselves.
The detection of Alishewanella in endometriotic lesion tissue suggests that non-classical environmental bacteria may colonize ectopic endometrial tissue, potentially contributing to local inflammatory microenvironments ([1]Microbiome Profile of Deep Endometriosis Patients: Comparison of Vaginal Fluid, Endometrium and LesionHernandes C, Silveira P, Sereia AFR et al. · 2020Open reference 1 ↓).
Its presence in both vaginal and lesion compartments supports the hypothesis of bacterial translocation between the lower reproductive tract and peritoneal disease sites ([2]Miyashira 2022 — The Microbiome and EndometriosisCarlos H Miyashira, Fernanda Reali Oliveira, Marina Paula Andres et al. · 2022Open reference 2 ↓).
