Names Veillonella parvula DSM 2008
Accession numbers NC_013520
Background Veillonella parvula (strain ATCC 10790 / DSM 2008 / JCM 12972 / Te3) is a nonfermentative, strictly anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium which forms part of the normal flora of the oral, genitourinary, respiratory, and intestinal tracts of humans and animals. Oral V. parvula is involved in the development of early periodontal disease as well as different types of serious infections, including meningitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, discitis, prosthetic joint infection, and acute and chronic pleuropulmonary infection. Risk factors for Veillonella infection include periodontal disease, immunodeficiency, intravenous drug use, and premature birth. (Adaptated from PMID: 19828771). (EBI Integr8)
