Eperythrozoon is a genus of bacteria in the family Mycoplasmoidaceae. Members of this family live inside red blood cells and are largely unculturable. As a result, many species are Candidatus. Under the old understanding of this genus as a phylogenetically divergent group under Mycoplasma, the included bacteria are also known as hemoplasmas or hemotrophic mycoplasmas.
