Streptococcus alactolyticus is a species of Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic cocci that forms chains and belongs to the Streptococcus bovis/equinus complex (SBSEC). It was proposed as a novel species in 1984 when lactose-negative porcine intestinal isolates previously assigned to biotype II of Streptococcus bovis were shown by DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic traits to constitute a distinct taxon.[1]
