Description of Streptococcus oralis subsp. dentisani LPB 0308 Gram-stain-positive, facultative anaerobic, non-flagellated, coccus-shaped bacterium (0.6-0.9 μm diameter). Colonies grown on chocolate agar are cream, circular, entire, and convex. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin; β -galactosidase activity, but negative for nitrate reduction; indole production; glucose fermentation; activity of arginine dihydrolase and urease; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain LPB0308 (= NIBRBAC000503347) was isolated from a human respiratory tract sample collected from Seoul, Republic of Korea (37°34 ʹ 47.5 ʺ N, 126°59 ʹ 56.3 ʺ E).
