Abstract
Streptococcus sobrinus and Streptococcus ferus were not included on the Approved List of Bacterial Names in 1980. Type strains of these species are now available, and I propose that they be recognized. The available evidence indicates that S. ferus is a commensal of wild rats and that S. sobrinus and the other mutans streptococci (except S. ferus) are human commensals.Keywords
