Background
Microbiology
- Essentially, the Streptococcus bovis group consists of bacteria are non-enterococcal Group D streptococci
- Historically grouped by biotype:
- Biotype I: ferments mannitol
- Biotype II: cannot ferment mannitol
- Biotype II/1: β-glucuronidase negative
- Biotype II/2: β-glucuronidase positive
- Members include:
- Streptococcus equinus
- Streptococcus infantarius subsp. coli (biotype II/1)
- Streptococcus infantarius subsp. infantarius (biotype II/1)
- Streptococcus alactolyticus
- Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus (biotype I)
- Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus (biotype II/2)
- Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. macedonicus
