Streptococcus pluranimalium is a species of Gram-positive bacteria in the genus Streptococcus. It was first described in 1999 following its isolation from multiple animal species, including cattle, goats, cats, and canaries. The species name is derived from Latin: "plur-" meaning "many" and "animalium" meaning "of animals," referencing the variety of hosts from which it was isolated.[1]
